Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I work with people experiencing the impact of trauma, depression, anxiety, identity concerns, relationship issues, and neurodiversity, among others. As a queer, Mexican-American therapist, I recognize the importance of addressing the nuances of intersectional identities and the impact of oppressive systems. While I specialize in working with those part of the LGBTQ+ community, I welcome individuals of any identity and background.
I use an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed lens integrating a variety of approaches based on your unique needs. We'll explore areas of your past together and uncover beliefs that are no longer serving you. I'll help identify patterns that might be creating barriers, search for their origin, and provide the support you need to create the change you deserve.
Through openness and authenticity, we will work collaboratively to identify your goals and approach the process with transparency so you can trust that we’re actually working toward the changes you desire, checking in with your experience along the way and making adjustments as needed. Looking forward to working with you!
