I identify as Indian-American and growing up in a bicultural environment has provided me with an open-mindedness and respect for the diversity of human experience. As such, it is important to me that I bring an intersectional, anti-racist, and LGBTQIA+ affirming lens to therapy.

If you are looking for a space to understand yourself better in an effort to find alternate, more effective ways of coping, please reach out.

Hello! My name is Jenette (she/her) and I am a queer Latina therapist who specializes in complex trauma, anxiety disorders, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming care. I am passionate about creating a space of acceptance to allow for deep-rooted healing and exploration of self.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others around you? Do you feel unsure how to express your true self or live the life you want? As a Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity knowledgable therapist, I offer a supportive environment to address issues in life that may be holding you back.

Therapy can help uncover the barriers that are in the way and learn skills and techniques for how to work with yourself and collaborate with life so that you feel like you are living as opposed to just surviving.
