My ideal clients are individuals from the Latino community, Latine LGBTQ+ individuals, children, young adults, athletes, and others who are navigating the complexities of identity, mental health challenges, or the pressures associated with performance. My approach to counseling is a collaborative journey where we work together to explore your feelings, challenges, and goals. I use a combination of evidence-based techniques and empathetic listening to help you uncover patterns, develop coping strategies, and empower you to make meaningful changes in your life.
As a pre-licensed professional counselor, I specialize in working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, particularly within the Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities. I offer culturally responsive therapy that emphasizes empathy, understanding, and collaboration. I am passionate about supporting clients with intersecting identities as they navigate life.
I understand that seeking help can feel daunting, especially when navigating the complexities of intersecting identities. I offer a compassionate space where you can share your experiences without judgment. Together, we’ll work through challenges and uncover your strengths. If you're ready to explore your journey and find the support you deserve, reach out!
