I am a compassionate, collective liberationist-oriented psychotherapist. I pull from politically leftist, critical psychology and from humanistic and existentialist theoretical/philosophical frameworks. I center marginalized persons, including BIPoC/ & LGBTQIA+ persons. Soy una psicoterapeuta compasiva, orientada a la liberación colectiva. Mi orientación viene de la psicología políticamente izquierdista, liberacionista, y teóricamente crítica, así como de las filosofías y los marcos clínicos humanistas y existencialistas. Centro a las personas marginadas, incluidas personas "BIPoC" (de razas marginalizadas) y personas LGBTQIA+.
I understand that persons in need of psychotherapy are more than a set of symptoms and diagnoses; our mental health conditions are a complex mixture of ancestral, epigenetic, familial, social and societal histories, issues and dynamics that need to be explored, processed and affirmed in order to improve our condition and functioning.
Siento que las personas que necesitan psicoterapia son más que un conjunto de síntomas y diagnósticos; Nuestra/os condiciones de salud mental son una mezcla compleja de nuestras historias, nuestros problemas y dinámicas ancestrales, epigenéticas, familiares, sociales y societarias que deben explorarse, procesarse y afirmarse para mejorar nuestra condición.

I center marginalized persons because the non-marginalized have plenty of providers that understand their life stories. The marginalized have a scarcity of providers that are empathetic, well-trained and experienced enough to receive them properly and treat them effectively.

My worldview and treatment philosophies pull from leftist sociopolitical orientations. I have the capacity to understand ways that some depressive and anxious presentations and disgnoses, and overall disillusionment and hopelessness can be rooted in sociopolitical distress.
