Are you in a season of transition, often carrying burnout from caregiving, education, or other heart forward work? Thoughtful and self aware, shaped by survival and responsibility, and quietly longing for something softer and more honest. You need a grounded, culturally responsive space where the nervous system can exhale and meaning can be made. Your goals are clarity, emotional steadiness, clean boundaries, and a life that feels aligned instead of reactive. What you want is relief, self trust, and a return to wholeness. You seek this because they are ready to move from endurance to intention from surviving to thriving.

As a first-generation Latina and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand how culture, family expectations, and identity can shape your stress, relationships, and sense of self.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, drawing from CBT, mindfulness, and relational therapy. Early on, we’ll clarify what you’re facing, set clear goals, and create a realistic plan. Over time, many clients notice less anxiety and depression, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self‑trust

I’ve lived through my own share of chaos and have found light along the way. That experience is part of what led me to this work, and it’s a privilege to now walk alongside others as they find their way through their own challenges. I’m especially drawn to supporting people as they navigate life transitions—whether they’re happening right now or are experiences from the past that still shape their emotional world. I work with individuals processing trauma, relationship changes, identity shifts, and unexpected events that have disrupted their sense of stability.

I am passionate about providing mental health support to Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA+ communities, regardless of immigration status. My goal is to contribute to the healing process of individuals holding marginalized identities. I am not in search of 'ideal clients', just individuals looking to integrate practical skills, effect change, improve quality of life, and perhaps heal wounds inherited through generational trauma.

I’m Kepi, a queer, non-binary, mixed- Latinx, first-generation therapist.
I believe that each session should be rooted in empathy, compassion, and inclusivity, creating a safe and judgment-free space where we can explore together. Explore what, you might ask? Many people seek therapy because something in their life isn’t working, or because challenging emotions or past experiences are holding them back.

To speak freely about your unique suffering, symptoms, and thoughts is very difficult in a society that expects and demands a continuous state of happiness. This leads to alienation, confusion, and endless methods to cope with life. I believe that there is no such thing as normal, and there are no standards. Choosing to start therapy is the first step to begin understanding your symptoms, feeling in charge of your symptoms, and learn healthier ways to relate to others and most importantly, yourself.
