I am a daughter of immigrants; a daughter of the diaspora; a wounded healer; an intellectual, spiritual, and queer Chingonx. These are a few identities that influence how I interact / experience the world around me, and stories attached to them: past and present. In my therapeutic work, I continue to work towards decolonization of both my healing practices and myself. My healing work is inherited; I come from a lineage of people seeking healing. Professionally, I started healing work with young people as a case manager, advocate, and mental health counselor in 2016.
I am the Founder & CEO of Girasol Counseling a Latine, women, and queer owned group practice. I am humbled to be appointed to Disability Rights Washington’s Mental Health Advisory Council.
Girasol Counseling wishes to make healing work accessible as much as possible. We are paneled with insurance and offer sliding scale options. To learn more, please visit our website.
