Other additional areas of clinical interest are mood disorders, anxiety disorders, geek therapy, sexual orientation and gender identity development, kinks and fetishes, and working with Latinx clients.
Being able to assist people in creating a meaningful life, in recognizing what’s important for them and in overcoming adversity are some of the most fulfilling parts of therapy. Whether life transitions, identity concerns, interpersonal difficulties, or psychological disorders, therapy has a lot to offer for all people. I strive to co-create with you a space where you feel comfortable talking about those things we rarely tell other people. My therapeutic approach is modified depending on the person. I will usually walk you through the process of therapy, as for some it can be seen as intimidating and scary.

With such a fast pace of life, you may feel like you're standing still while everything seems to be zooming around and past you. You could be getting frustrated, going through the motions or drowning within a never ending list of “to-do’s”. This frustration could leave you feeling like everything is spinning out of control and it’s hard to make decisions. You might even find yourself questioning what you’ve done wrong, wondering how things got this way and why this is happening to you. You can calm the internal noise and build the confidence you need to feel in control of your own life. I know what it's like to overthink and doubt.

Somewhere along our life’s journey, we may have lost our “true self.” Somewhere in our past, we may have gotten stuck, thinking “I am not my best self.” We may know exactly when this shift happened, we may not. It is my belief that being in an empathic, non-judgmental and trusting therapeutic relationship can support you in living the life you always wanted.

As a descendant of Mexican immigrant parents and as a queer, first-generation, bilingual therapist, my approach to mental healthcare seeks to meet you where you are—tailoring therapeutic interventions to address the intersectional struggles of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ emerging adults navigating complex trauma, mood dysregulation and anxiety challenges, identity exploration, and the weight of life transitions, instability, and burnout. I believe therapy can be an expansive and fluid space: a place to pause, feel, and reconnect to your own wisdom and capacity for change, even in systems that too often demand we fragment or erase who we are.

With almost a decade in the mental health field—first in behavioral health and now in psychotherapy— I’ve learned that we all have innate skills to imagine and build lives that allow us to thrive. I also recognize there are systemic factors that often constrain our ability to do so. Which is why, as a black woman and child of Latine immigrants, I have an affinity with those existing on the margins of society. In an effort to empower all clients to build those imagined futures, I aim to root my approach in a social justice framework.

I’m bilingual and bi-cultural and enjoy working with folks of all backgrounds, but am especially passionate about working with folks from the Latino/x community.
I have a warm interpersonal style, with a balance of humor and direct feedback. I believe that if you are looking to psychotherapy as a mode to improve something in your life, that treatment must be goal oriented. We collaborate on the “what” needs improving and “how” we’ll know that things are better.

Does it sometimes feel like the life you have is not yours? That there are things that you want to do, values you want to move towards, and yet it feels as if you don’t have much choice. Expectations surrounding identity, gender, sexuality, race, culture might make it that much harder to even know where to move towards. And that makes a lot sense, after all, you’re navigating life for the first time and there isn’t much of a blueprint. Factors such as trauma, anxiety, depression, can make this so much harder.

You may be feeling pulled in many directions, carrying stress, or unsure about the choices ahead. Maybe past experiences still affect you, or you want space to reflect on who you are and where you’re going.

Hi, I’m Javier (him/el), a queer, bilingual latino graduate student therapist (intern) with a cross-cultural background in community health education and advocacy work.
As a proud adult child of immigrants, I've enjoyed living and working in nearly all major Chicago regions, reaching communities like Black-American, Latino, Immigrant, and LGBTQIA+ populations. My integrative (humanistic & psychodynamic), relational approach prioritizes trust, mutual respect, and the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change.

I support individuals from all backgrounds, including 2S-QTBIPOC, immigrants, and first-generation Latine/ Latinx clients, navigating cultural identity and anxiety related to immigration stressors.

It is a privilege to join you on your journey, helping you elevate and reflect on the wisdom that already resides within you.

Feeling anxious, burned out, or weighed down by depression? You may be questioning your career, relationships, or sense of self while feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or estranged from what “should” feel fulfilling. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Many of the people I work with, including LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and kinky folks, developed early relational adaptations to survive and belong—patterns that may now shape connection, self-trust, and vitality. We can deepen awareness of these patterns and move beyond old molds that no longer fit, so you can experience more potency of existence and greater authenticity.

You can look strong on the outside and still feel like you are barely holding it together. You get used to surviving, pushing through, and telling yourself you are fine, until one day, you are not. If you are tired of carrying it all alone, you are in the right plac
