I enjoy working with individuals and couples seeking a better understanding of their life experiences and themselves, helping to problem solve through a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, sexuality, grief, life transitions, identity development, and more.
Navigating all the changes and challenges that come in our 20s and 30s can be overwhelming, stressful, and anxiety-filled. Though young adulthood can be an exciting time to explore and deepen your sense of self, many of us feel stuck, lost, or plagued by the pressure to "have it all figured out." You might be thinking, "Why does everyone else seem to know where they’re going and what they’re doing?" You're not alone in these thoughts, fears, and uncertainty. Whether it’s securing and thriving in the right job, breaking out of self-defeating patterns, or finding and maintaining healthy relationships, I’m here to help you get unstuck!

I specialize in the full arc of transformation - helping you process unresolved pain, change relational patterns, undo aloneness, and remove the blocks and barriers that prevent you from fully inhabiting your life. I work with clients to move beyond performance, perfectionism, anxiety, people-pleasing, self-criticism, and strained relational cycles by transforming the deeper emotional and attachment patterns that live underneath. Together, we work toward lasting change that is not only understood intellectually but deeply felt and lived.

For many people, therapy can provide relief from suffering and give a person a deepened awareness of their life. Therapy can help us gain an active perspective in living a full and meaningful life. Whether one is struggling with depression, anxiety, or interpersonal problems, therapy may be a helpful journey to alleviate the pain. My approach is interpersonal and psychodynamically informed while also exploring concrete solutions. People can feel better in a couple sessions while others are looking for a long term process. Both can be helpful.

As a Latino Queer Therapist, I have learned that understanding the intersections of my identities and how I show up in multiple spaces has been imperative to my personal growth and my understanding of belonging. Growing up, I always felt othered and often times unwanted. Therapy for me is about learning to understand our inner dialogues, validate our emotional experiences, and effect change in a way that is consistent with our desired narrative.

If you’re LGBTQ+ and done shrinking, performing, or holding it all together for everyone else, you’re not alone.
You’re smart, self-aware—and still, something isn’t clicking. Maybe it’s the weight of navigating identity, family, culture, or trauma on top of just… living. You want a therapist who gets it—someone you don’t have to educate.
I bring heart, depth, real-life experience, and a little bit of edge. I’m not just your therapist. I’m your biographer.

Just as you don't click with every person you meet in the world, you won't mesh with every therapist. And I want to make sure you have a good experience in therapy! As a career changer myself, I work well with professionals who are feeling stuck in certain areas of their life and can't seem to figure it out with the same tools they have used in the past. I love to assist people in mobilizing strengths they already have (like being analytical) and building new capacities (like sitting with tough emotions and listening to the body). Trauma, relationships, family dynamics, identity, and sexual concerns come up a lot in our sessions.

I've been providing psychotherapy for twenty-nine years. I work with preteens, teens, and adults of all ages. I am passionate about this work and have helped many people change their lives for the better. I believe in a person's ability to make their life as full and rich as they want it to be.

My goal is to help you become psychologically stronger and feel better about yourself as a person. I'll help you think clearly, know yourself better, develop calmness, communicate effectively, and behave smartly. Abusive self-criticism, impulsivity or undue anger are destructive patterns that worsen over time if they are not contained. I'll teach you to gain self-control so that you can catch these tendencies in their earliest stages and substitute better alternatives. I focus on learning self-compassion, so you can deal with a lack of success without turning against yourself. Removing gratuitous negativity from life is liberating.
