Creo que es muy bonito sanar junto a alguien que conoce bien el camino. Caminar con alguien que te puede cubrir con paraguas si llueve, con un abrigo si hace frio, con risas si es largo el camino. Tengo mucha experiencia (25 a!n!os) sanando todas las condiciones y edades (desde 4-100 a!n!os), entrenando estudiantes de medicina, psicología y trabajo social con gran humildad. Utilizo muchos métodos para curar: hipnosis, terapia narrativa, limpias, reiki, constelaciones, grupos de madres e hijas, de tejer, de jugar, de familias. Escuchar las historias de las personas es una gran bendición en mi vida y seria un placer escuchar la tuya.

Waitlist for new clients
Hello! I am a queer and multi-ethnic therapist. I specialize in working with Indigenous and Chicanx children and adults with the following identities or life experiences: highly sensitive people (HSP), queer, neurodivergent and histories with complex trauma. I work best with those who want to heal inner child wounds and who crave deeper healing for themselves, their families and communities. I speak Spanish conversationally.
My ideal client has an understanding that therapy is a reciprocal space and process, where there is much to be learned from both sides.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and everyday life stressors can be overwhelming. Everyone needs someone to talk to who provides a non-judgmental, safe space.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with issues ranging from anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. I believe in helping clients develop those key coping skills while building and maintaining emotional regulation.
