Certified Gestalt Play Therapist - Child, Couple, and Individual Therapist. Growing up within a traditional Mexican immigrant family and being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have experience with how traditional and contemporary cultural norms can clash and wrongfully lead us to believe that we are the problem. I hold the firm belief that people are not their problems and instead have relationships with the problems that cause chaos in their lives. I believe people are always responding in some way to their problems. We can work together to highlight the moments that the problem would like you to forget about.
I have been honing my craft of Narrative Therapy apprenticing with co-creator of the therapy David Epston and colleagues. I utilize Gestalt Play Therapy with children and elements of the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples. I bring lived experience as a current part-time working 12+ year flight attendant into my work as a therapist.
I am working toward requirements to become a Registered Play Therapist, involving extensive training and supervision in child therapy. I previously worked in a non-profit setting supporting survivors of domestic violence. Reach out to schedule a free brief consult to see if we're a good fit! I will respond within 24 hours of days I'm in office (Mon - Thurs).

Something you can look forward to in therapy with me is that I enjoy writing letters to my clients regarding their protests over the problems that bring them into therapy. These can serve as beautiful therapeutic documents to reference when problems come knocking again once you've overpowered them.

I work with adults, children, and couples, giving me a well rounded lens to conceptualize cases as a family therapist. I blend my training in Narrative Therapy, Gestalt Play Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method with unique results. I enjoy bringing in drawings, sand trays, puppets and role plays with clients. Therapy with me is casual and involves lots of laughter.
