I work with clients suffering from depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, and life transitions.
I work within a Psychodymanic framework while adapting to the client's needs. I tend to leave my sessions very open where you actually get to guide the session and take me where you want to go. Having a space where you can just be your authentic self without anyone in the room judging you can be liberating, and that is the type of therapy I want to create.

In addition to advanced training in clinical social work and psychodynamic therapy, I have significant experience supporting transgender adults and those living with epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
We all feel the need to hide the parts of ourselves that we have been made to believe are too much. Overwhelming stress can put us in survival mode, unable to think and play. Growing up too fast can mean some important stages of development are set aside. If this sounds like you, you're very much not alone. Feelings like rage, grief, and guilt can become overwhelming because they are hard to articulate, but when you witness and honor these important feelings, you start to see yourself and the world around you more clearly. Then, we work together to help you build a stronger, more integrated sense of who you are.

I also teach seminars and doctoral level courses on topics including: LGBTQ mental health, gender dysphoria and evidence-based/integrative psychotherapy.
Psychotherapy is an intimate collaboration in self-discovery, problem-solving & relief of suffering. My aim is to meet you where you’re at, beginning from where you are right now. Together, we’ll locate the obstacles, fears and outgrown narratives separating you from embodying your most authentic self. We'll identify meaningful therapeutic goals based on your needs and tangible steps to reach them. With curiosity and compassion, we will heal the wounded, banished and neglected parts of you. I'm an active therapist who provides feedback and invites yours fully.

I offer therapy for adults working with depression, anxiety, body image, disordered eating and eating disorders, trauma, navigating non-binary/gender fluid/ transgender identities, sex and sexuality, and traversing life transitions.
As a therapist I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness, and yoga. Inspired by my own yoga practice I take a holistic approach, striving to integrate the body into talk therapy. I find exploration of somatic experiences to be a doorway into understanding how emotions are stored in, and processed through, the body, mind, and spirit. In sessions I endeavor to create a trauma informed collaborative environment of mutual trust and safety. I follow the lead of the client, believing that the client is the expert of their own experiences.

I commit to working as hard as you do, walking with you as we build strategies and road maps that lead you to the next favorite version of yourself.

I am experienced working with clients who struggle with trauma recovery, gender dysphoria, neurodivergency, poly/CNM relationships, sexuality, substance use, oppression, disordered eating, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and grief.
My identity as a queer non-binary Latinx informs my approach as client-centered, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed. My practice draws on principles of relational psychoanalysis, IFS, and spirituality. EMDR is provided as needed and I believe lasting change is achieved in long-term treatment.
