Multicultural Therapists in Salem, OR

I believe in and help to foster a collaborative therapeutic relationship based on compassion, trust, and humility. As a psycho-spiritual counselor with a holistic perspective, I work with mind, body, spirit connections, and as such I see my clients as full of potential and creativity. I am deeply interested in the emerging field of psilocybin assisted therapy and I am happy to work with clients as they integrate their own personal journeys. I have a passion for social and environmental justice, and as an ever-aspiring multicultural counselor, I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds, cultures and lifestyles.

My ideal client wants to be engaged during therapy. My clients come prepared to do heavy work that is necessary to heal and move on from their issues. I expect accountability, transparency, a willingness to do homework, and be vulnerable during sessions. I employ a diverse approach to psychology that is specifically tailored to each person. Overall, this takes the shape of mindfulness cognitive behavior therapy. This feminist-queer lens includes your intersectional identity, personal goals, individual growth speed, identity, religious background, ethnicity, race, sexuality, gender, social economic status, and social stratification.

“Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.” I see my life as a mission to help others see themselves in their original beauty, to learn the truth about who they are so they can be set free, to assist them in opening to their own unique destiny, and to work through beliefs and behaviors that keep them trapped in old ways of being. This is work I have had to do on myself, and still continue to do. I believe in using a holistic approach, which addresses every level of our being - the body, emotions, mind, and spirit.

My work focuses on increasing satisfaction and meaning in people's lives. My goal is providing competent, insight-focused therapy with an emphasis on self-compassion and improving the relationship with the self. My approach is helpful for people trying to navigate burnout, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and self-criticism. Growing up as a biracial Latino, I struggled with navigating questions about racial identity, internalized racism, fitting in with different groups, and managing different sets of cultural expectations. I’m passionate about working with clients who experience similar challenges with any of their identities.

You’re caught in patterns of over-thinking, overwhelm, avoidance, and perfectionism. You feel stuck but you aren’t sure why or how to fix it. You’re used to taking care of everyone else, being the problem-solver and the overachiever, so it’s hard to ask for help or know what you might need. You. Are. Exhausted. You miss the days where you felt clearer, connected, present, and peaceful. You escape into another wellness podcast, or do a little “self-care”, but you know the relief is temporary. It’s time to make a change. Break away from patterns of worry, stress, overwhelm and finally feel satisfied in the life you've created.
