I have the privilege of working with humans who are navigating various challenges, including self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, sexuality, and identity. Each counseling session is approached with deep respect for your culture and worldview. It’s important to me to meet you right where you are in your life, as this is essential for building a strong therapeutic connection. I aim to foster a supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard and accepted, free from judgment. You are the expert on your journey toward healing, and I wholeheartedly trust that you will guide me to the areas that matter most to you.
I bring both experience and a deep passion for serving LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, with a strong focus on the Latine population. Additionally, I provide clinical supervision for limited and associate license holders in Washington and Michigan, including free lifetime consultation once you achieve full licensure. Please message me to inquire about rates!
I recognize that seeking help can feel significant, and having mixed emotions about it is normal. Life can sometimes become overwhelming, and you don’t have to face it alone. If you feel ready to share or have questions, I warmly encourage you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. This moment could mark the beginning of a positive change.
