As a Boricua from the Bronx, I'm here for folks who refuse to tap out. I provide direct therapy for LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and relationally expansive families navigating systems not built for their brilliance. You're likely a cycle-breaker trying to heal generational trauma, set radical boundaries, or navigate the chaos of parenting and co-parenting. Redefining family dynamics requires honest communication. Together, we walk the middle path between being the parent you are today and the parent you have the capacity to become, balancing structure with authenticity.
I offer culturally attuned parenting therapy, co-parenting support, and DBT groups in West Seattle and virtually across WA. Blending decolonial DBT and Systems Theory, I help families build skills to handle heavy emotions. I will always tell you straight up how it is while providing a soft space to heal and strengthen your family unit.
Parenting in systems not built for you is exhausting. You don't have to carry the weight of breaking generational cycles alone. Grounded in my Bronx-born Boricua roots, I offer a space for collective care and radical authenticity. Reach out today to schedule a consultation, and let's build the grounded home environment your family deserves.
