Therapists in 10007

Feeling disconnected from your empowerment, you often recognize the good in others but struggle to see yourself in the same positive light. Battling self-criticism, anxiety, and worst-case scenarios is keeping you awake at night and stubborn inner obstacles are hindering your needs and desires. Yearning to overcome unhelpful thought patterns and habits, you feel defeated by overwhelming emotions and alone in your experience. You long to establish nourishing practices and incorporate balance into your life, but a living with purpose feels like a faraway dream, and you feel stuck in a spiral of disappointment.

I'm a trans, queer, Mexican-American therapist who works from an attuned, responsive, and relationship oriented approach. As all of us have a tendency to get lost in a narrative or storyline, I invite clients to slow down with me and get intimate with their direct experience—the raging emotions in the body, the coming and going of thoughts, the feeling of shaky vulnerability, the rage, the loneliness—honoring it all and creating a safe holding space for these lost emotions, perhaps for the first time ever. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer end-of-life support, and coaching.
