Hablo Español. I support people, families, and couples who experience depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, and people who identify as neurodivergent and/or have Autism Spectrum Disorder. I strive to support people who yearn to rediscover for them what makes life worth it. I also strive to support people who want to rekindle a fire within them, especially for passions like music, art, sports, etc.. I also strive to provide a healing space where one can let go of impactful life experiences, such as trauma, that they carry with them. I strive to challenge norms and harmful expectations that plague one's self-worth.
I invite nature, music, art, and loved ones (even animals) into therapy. With compassion, I hope to empower you in building confidence in navigating life and rekindle self-love and admiration for yourself. I also practice decolonial healing therapy, challenging colonial western ideologies while inviting healing practices from people’s diverse communities.
Having entered therapy due to personal experience with mental health conditions, I acknowledge that recovery and growth take time and experimentation. I also ensure to be someone that is humble, kind, and open to hearing your input on your needs. If you feel that what I shared resonates with you, I’m honored to take steps together.
