Finding a therapist you connect with and beginning the therapy process can be overwhelming. As you enter therapy, I aim to create an authentic, trusting, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship with you. This forms the foundation for us to delve deeply into your inner world. Combining talk therapy with mind-body practices, I will support you with practical coping tools as well as facilitate a space in which you can make sense and meaning of your experiences. My hope is that through our work together, you will experience emotion regulation, attunement with your body, self-compassion, self-understanding, & authentic relationships.

I am a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish). I see therapy as a journey of self exploration where you can utilize strengths and skills that the person already has but is unaware of. Sometimes, self-exploration can be challenging; for that reason, I like to guide clients in their journey by honoring their autonomy and resiliency. "You can become the best version of yourself." My philosophy is that nobody knows you better than yourself.

Life can be challenging, and everyone has times when they feel overwhelmed and need some support. In my work, I provide a caring, nonjudgmental environment for adolescents, adults, couples, and families to speak openly about their lives and to explore their true selves. Therapy is meant to be collaborative, so picture me as a trusted guide walking beside you as you face what comes next. I specialize in working with young people, polyamorous/nonmonogamous people, and folks in the LGBTQIA+ community. NOTE: I am NOT currently taking new adolescent, couple, or family clients!

I currently see clients who are wanting to work through sexual trauma, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD/executive functioning challenges, stress management, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), and gender/sexual identity topics. I also work with clients in ethically non-monogamous relationship structures. I have experience working with folks in the kink community and am a sex-worker friendly clinician.
I am a good fit for clients that appreciate structure, evidence-based approaches, and collaborative treatment plans that include homework/work outside of sessions.

Transitions are hard and life is full of them. While change may come with joy, so many other feelings surround it as well: sadness, fear, anxiety, exhaustion. Maybe you don’t know how to handle or express these new feelings. Maybe you’ve felt this way for a long time and need support. You may be curious about why you do the things you do, and why you are the way you are. You may be frustrated that what once worked for you isn’t working in this season, and you don’t know what to do next. When you look at your life or the world at large, you might be feeling stuck, sick, sad, or helpless and may be wondering “where do I go from here?”

I work with people who are seeking to better understand themselves and to deepen their connection to themselves and the world around them. I believe that the seeds of a felt sense of aliveness already exist within you and therapy can provide the opportunity and safe container to nurture those seeds. My work is informed by a background in the creative arts, as well as advanced training in the feminist relational model of treating trauma, Internal Family Systems Level 1, iRest Yoga Nidra Level 1, and Somatic Experiencing (completion of 3 year training program).

Our relationship with ourselves is constantly evolving; a reality that is simultaneously wonderful & deeply challenging. This has an impact on our ability to engage in our lives, communities, & relationships. The journey of self-discovery can feel daunting- my approach to therapy offers a starting point. Through a balance of insight & mindfulness, I invite clients to shift their point of view. I value clients' unique perspective and I believe there’s no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. Together, with all our nuances & imperfections, we can co-create a therapeutic relationship that feels safe & impactful.

Life can be difficult and everyone needs help at some point. I believe in a humanistic/person-centered approach that emphasizes the potential within people. Everyone has a different story, a different journey, a different destination. My goal as a therapist is to give you the support you need to get to where you want to be. Therapy is a collaborative effort and so it is through the combined work of the therapist’s experience in the mental health field and the client’s expertise in themself that this process is most effective.

It's challenging to deal with changes in your life, finding your identity, and managing relationships no matter what, but it's even more challenging if you don't take the "traditional" route. As a queer individual, I know the challenge myself. Whether you want to explore your gender or sexuality, receive support throughout a major transition, work through relational difficulties, heal from trauma, or simply expand your feeling of self-love, I can help. I work with folx of all ages to heal from personal and systemic traumas, through the means of deconstructing old narratives and building new meanings of the events in your life.

If you feel tired of being stuck, in pain, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied with how your life is going, I can help.

Therapy is about wanting to slow down and reflect on yourself, how you want your life to look like, and how to get there. You made the brave step of asking for help and I would love to hear from you.

I love working with clients who are feeling stuck or sense something holding them back from their true selves, and am especially skilled in helping those who are dealing with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, identity exploration, life transitions, grief, trauma, and body image.
