Therapy can change your life. It is a powerful, creative process supporting your authentic capacity to heal and grow. Great therapy is collaborative, tuned into your specific needs. I listen deeply, with warmth, and work with you to craft and support your therapeutic journey. My many years as a psychologist, supervisor, and professor taught me that therapists need to be self-aware, and above all, hold compassionate, safe, reliable space that invites your trust. This “container of trust” is the vital ground for therapy to unfold. It encourages ALL parts of you to feel welcome, so we can work to heal your innermost wounds and traumas.
As a Latinx immigrant, I'm attuned to issues of culture and race. I provide individual, couples/family therapy, psychedelic preparation and integration, supervision services, and immigration evaluations, with a focus on LGBTQIA+, trauma, & a sub-specialty in working with journalists. In our work, you will gain deep insights and flex new emotional muscles.
My integrative skills draw from a multiplicity of theoretical backgrounds, and range from working with the unconscious, to more directive, active approaches. In our work, we will bring acceptance, gratitude - and even joy to all parts of you, mindfully working together to embolden your confidence and strengthen your relationship to yourself and others.
