Therapy is a space that is both engaging and supportive. I aim to create a welcoming environment where you can access therapy as a means to enrich your life. I come from a unique cultural background, being half Salvadorian and half Filipino, a first-generation child of immigrant parents, and part of the LGBTQ+ community. These diverse cultural influences have significantly shaped my personal identity and professional development. This journey of straddling multiple cultures has taught me the richness of our intersectional identities and how we all engage with the world through a complex web of lived experiences.

I believe in getting to know my clients, building a relationship with them and earning their trust through the therapeutic process. I understand that everyone's healing journey is the not the same and I want to be able to meet clients where they are in their journey. I strive to provide my clients with a safe space to assist them with processing traumas, identifying triggers, and most importantly different techniques/interventions for coping in order to have a life worth living.
