I am LGBT affirmative and bilingual Spanish.
My approach to therapy is based on developing a deep emotional connection with the people in our lives, improving self-esteem, accessing inner resources to cope with difficulties and learning to have compassion for ourselves and others. Although therapy can be very helpful when we are going through a difficult time in our lives, it is also an important self-care practice. Just like we attend yoga or the gym to take care of our bodies, taking care of our emotional and mental health is just as important. For me, wellness needs to be holistic, both body and mind need to be treated to truly achieve inner peace and fulfillment.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a core part of helping a person engage in healthy life changes. Change can be challenging for an individual, and sometimes all it takes is someone to listen to your struggles and really understand. The first step towards having a healthy life is having a healthy mind. Therapy can assist in achieving this.

Healing is sacred; it involves mind, body, and spirit. My approach integrates self-compassion, neuro-physiologically informed care, mindfulness, and cultural humility. I will walk with you as we explore your history, patterns, and struggles; and help you to learn and practice new coping skills. This includes learning the "go to" responses of your nervous system and how you can resource yourself more so you can live the life you want. In our work together, you can expect curiosity, empathy, hope, and laughter. Ultimately, I hope that our relationship can be a source of support, calm, and understanding.

I work with motivated clients who find themselves feeling "stuck", stressed, and fatigued and are looking for a way out of destructive or unhelpful cycles. I value a depth-approach to therapy that identifies patterns in your life that are no longer serving you so that you may feel more free and confident. Starting therapy can be daunting and can come with many taboos, but alongside a skilled therapist, you will find the resolution and clarity you've been looking for. I bring a grounded presence that will allow you to safely explore areas of your life you may have not looked at before to have you feeling more in control of your life.

I hold a prior career in art activism and my prior career influences my practice in many different ways. For example, I commit to providing spaces that foster decolonization. My approach includes a lot of transparency and flexibility. I believe therapy is most helpful when it's a hands-on process so I aim to create sessions that end with a tangible tool or goal because sharing our stories is only one piece of the healing process. It’s important for me to share with my clients that I live with chronic mental and physical health issues so I am actively practicing a lot of the same tools I bring forth to clients.
