Fighting life’s many challenges can feel like a never ending battle, especially when feelings of hopelessness and frustration take over. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, or misunderstood or maybe you just want someone to talk to who listens and understands. You’re probably sick and tired of having to be “strong” all the time, and it’s left you feeling drained. You deserve to be heard—to be validated—to be seen.

I encourage you to get comfortable with discomfort by building resilience together. I know that therapy can be both draining and uplifting. It requires you to open up in ways that can be painful but it's a process you don’t have to do alone. I will challenge you to restructure core beliefs and unlock hidden strengths. Together, we will navigate transitional moments in life, such as relationship conflicts, career issues, and complex family dynamics. My goal as a therapist is to work with individuals from all backgrounds experiencing trauma from systems of power. My therapeutic style is supportive, honest and collaborative.

In my over 20 plus years of training, studying, writing, thinking, theorizing, and practicing psychotherapy, I’ve come to understand that the experience of feeling deeply seen, heard and listened to is what facilitates change in us and in our relationships. This may sound simple, but for many of us these seemingly basic human tenants have not been upheld. The process of learning to locate oneself for oneself can be a complex undertaking. It is a unique experience for each individual evolving over time and trust. I have a deep belief in the powerful shifts that this process can bring to our lived experience.

I embrace a warm, practical, and collaborative approach to psychotherapy, adapting treatment to the needs of each person. I believe that the present is informed yet not fully determined by our past, and that we all aspire to healing, wellness, and ongoing growth. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. I aim to encourage clients to work through unexamined unhealthy patterns, uncomfortable or scary thoughts and feelings, unwanted behaviors, challenging situations and relationships. I work from an anti-oppressive, relational, and trauma-focused lens.

All human beings want to be seen, understood, & accepted. Therapy can be a safe & intimate space for such an experience. As a therapist, I believe we all need someone to empower, validate, & actively listen to us in an empathic way, which is what I thrive to do. I help in navigating life transitions and processing emotions, thoughts, and experiences that cause distress. I specialize in anxiety, self-doubt, decision-making, low self-esteem, processing shame and trauma, coping with Latinx family trauma, 1st gen. stress, the BIPOC experience, and childhood trauma.

Augusta is an empathic practitioner who is passionate about helping clients to grow as individuals, while improving their emotional and physical well-being. As with most healers, she came to psychotherapy by way of seeking change, and has a first hand understanding of what it feels like to need guidance and support. When working with clients, she relies on an integration of methods tailored to meet the needs of the client she is working with. She prefers a holistic framework focusing on the interconnectedness of our minds and body using a combination of psychodynamic, CBT, DBT and mindfulness-related yoga/Buddhist interventions.

Much of my practice has been with survivors of trauma and with clients living with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict as well as those managing issues related to self-esteem, sexuality, and identity. My approach helps clients to identify internal and external resources that shift cycles of thought, emotion, and behavior in order to improve quality of life.

I work with clients who are craving greater fulfillment, self-awareness, and/or a deeper connection with both themselves and others. It is my goal to help clients identify and pursue a life that feels authentic. My clients are often navigating relationship dynamics, dating, and family challenges. I also support people struggling with phase of life transitions, such as marriage, career change, or decisions about family planning. I hope our work will help you show up with healthy boundaries and empowerment in all social, romantic, familial and professional relationships.

Feeling stressed out or anxious? Since 2020, many of us have experienced loneliness, struggling to understand our lack of motivation and turmoil in our personal lives. Maybe you’re just feeling ‘stuck’. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for clients to explore their selves, feelings, and relationships. Together we can address symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues that may be causing duress. I work with a diverse population, particularly LGBTQ+, gender non-conforming, in-transition. I am also working under supervision to specialize in couples, relationships, and sex therapy.

People seek therapy when they are feeling overwhelmed and when their usual coping skills aren't working. Maybe you're feeling stuck in your work life or relationships, or struggling to find a sense of well being. These difficulties can lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety and addictions, to name a few. I envision therapy as a space where two people can focus together on whatever is causing you pain. I believe this process can lead to greater self-awareness, effectiveness, and personal freedom, as your choices become more conscious and your sense of self deepens.

I believe that the best therapy holds up a mirror to help us see what we could not on our own. These moments of understanding are the building blocks of change. My goal as a therapist is to help create an awareness of patterns that are holding you back and find ways of moving forward through a collaborative treatment plan.

To those considering beginning their therapy journey, I understand it can feel like a daunting commitment. It is my mission to create a meaningful, interesting and collaborative environment that meets a client where they are and shows them that they have the capacity for meaningful change. Shift in perspective is crucial to an evolving sense of self. I believe in the power of culture, myth, laughter and metaphor to explore a client's issues. I draw from Jungian, Humanistic and Existential theory and believe therapy is a creative as well as healing enterprise.
