Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life you want to live? Life has a way of pausing at pivotal moments, offering the chance to reflect, realign, and reimagine. If you’re ready to stop running on autopilot and start living with greater intention, therapy can be a powerful step forward. I’m a Latinx therapist and person of color (POC) with advanced training in psychodynamic therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and evidence-based practices. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Navigating the world as an LGBTQIA+ or gender expansive individual can be challenging, especially as a teen or young adult. Exploring gender/sexuality, while facing homophobia and/or transphobia, can cause significant emotional distress. It can be hard to know how to process and cope with those feelings, or where to turn for help. I hope to provide a safe, affirming environment for adolescents and adults on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum to discuss their unique experiences, and work towards affirmation of their authentic self.

Sometimes we may find ourselves feeling stuck in our lives or alone in our struggles. Perhaps we feel isolated when we share these difficulties with others, only to feel invalidated in our experiences or identity. It's even more challenging and isolating when we don't have those connections to reach out to. Carrying feelings such as shame in who we are, or discomfort being in our own skin, is a weight on us impacting everyday lives and our relationships. Through reflection and self-compassion we will embrace self-acceptance in knowing you're valid in who you are, and you can live your best and most authentic self.

My therapeutic style involves a client-centered approach that encourages collaboration. In our time together clients can work through behaviors and thought patterns that no longer serve them, such as issues with self-esteem, trauma, and identity. I engage in creative and holistic modalities that encourage self exploration and mindfulness.

My theoretical orientation is integrative, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and client-centered theories. I tailor my approach to the unique needs and goals of each client. For instance, I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies to address specific challenges, foster humanistic principles to promote self-discovery, and employ client-centered techniques to enhance the therapeutic alliance. I believe in the inherent wisdom of the body and incorporate emotional and somatic awareness into my holistic practice. By listening to the body, we can navigate past traumas and painful experiences together.

At Orion Psychotherapy, our mission is to support the expressive experiences of adolescents, adults, couples, and families, facilitating meaningful discovery and intentional change. With a Humanistic foundation and a person-centered approach, I meet you where you are and tailor techniques to your unique challenges. To be frank, I do much more than ask good questions and provide affirming vibes. I view treating mental illness and fostering mental health as distinct skills, encouraging clients to invest as much effort in addressing negative and dissociative emotions as they do in cultivating positive ones.

I work with individuals who find themselves stuck, or struggling with work, relationships, family, loss, and identity issues. Are you feeling anxious or depressed due to recent challenges in your life? Have you been struggling with self-confidence, purpose or direction in in our current times? Do you find yourself dealing with the difficulties of being part of a marginalized and/or stigmatized community? Starting therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating. However, it can also be the beginning of a self-exploration and discovery that leads to a more fulfilling, purposeful and balanced life.

I work primarily with families, adolescents, children, and young adults who have had very difficult experiences and need a safe, playful, and steady partner to explore the impact of these events on their lives. As an out queer clinician I also work regularly with LGBTQIA+ clients who seek a therapist aware of the complexity of those identities in the world, as well as with parents looking to better develop skills to support trans or queer-identified children. I recognize racism and white supremacy as forms of social oppression that provoke traumatic responses and work accordingly with clients who have been harmed by these systems.

My main focus in the work is building trust and connection, while actively working to embrace your humanness, and my own, in session. As a 1st generation, Asian-American, Queer person of color therapist, I also attend to dynamics of power and oppression, marginalization and privilege in my work as well.

Being a person is hard. The pain and difficulty of life just pile up, obscuring the joy and connectivity we might once have felt. Maybe it’s been so long since we were excited about life that we’ve forgotten what it's like to wake up curious and engaged with the mystery of our own existence. But let’s be honest: there’s a lot of pain and suffering in this world. And so much of it is beyond our ability to control. Here’s the good news: you and me and everyone we know – we’re not the first to feel like this. And there are ways to feel better. My goal is simple: to share with you what was once shared with me. Therapy that works.

Are you constantly navigating high expectations—whether from family, culture, or yourself—while quietly carrying the weight of anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling like you're not doing enough? Maybe you're a first-generation individual trying to balance your identity with obligations at home, or someone from a marginalized background managing the emotional toll of always having to "push through." You might be looking for a therapist who truly sees you, hears you, and understands the unique complexity of your experience.
