You’ve spent a long time surviving in systems that were never designed to support your healing. Maybe that looks like burnout that won’t go away, anxiety that keeps cycling, emotional numbness, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling stuck.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, chronic stress, or the emotional effects of caregiving or spiritual deconstruction, therapy with me is paced, collaborative, and personalized to your nervous system. We’ll move at a rhythm that feels safe for your body and meaningful for your healing

I'm a neurodivergent, queer therapist from a blended Mexican-American family with deep Indigenous roots.
My ideal clients are adults and older adults, individuals, couples, or families feeling intensely disconnected or stuck in patterns that create distance, conflict, or confusion. They may be navigating intimacy, sex, trust, identity, or communication—sometimes within non-monogamous relationships, sometimes while healing from ruptures or rediscovering emotional closeness. I especially love my work within the alternative, queer, and LGBTQ+ community.
People don’t come to me to be "fixed"—they come because they need something different, and they want someone who’s not afraid to be there with them.

I help people deal with the natural ups and downs of life, as well as overwhelming experiences like loss and trauma. I believe long-lasting change happens through self-discovery ("when we know better, we do better"). I give clients the tools to understand the roots of their struggles and teach coping skills ranging from breath work to establishing healthy boundaries.

My ideal clients are wanting to make fundamental changes to their lives. I believe the key to happiness is building community and repairing relationships. Our society teaches us to value individualism, but research shows us that we are happiest when we are in community with one-another. I learned from communities in Central America that happiness cannot be bought, and that it does not come with success. That happiness comes from a lifestyle that promotes healthy relationships.

The person we listen to the most is ourselves and that is the person we will believe first. That is because this is who we spend the most time with, this is the person who speaks volumes when we are alone, and this is the person we will spend the rest of our lives with. This person is called SELF. We must learn how to be with our own self and care for ourselves properly. The way we treat others speaks to how we are treating ourselves. Allow me to help you care for you so that you will know how to care for others.

As a therapist, I believe in empathy. Unconditional positive regard is high on my list of priorities when interacting with clients of mine. I believe that we are all, more alike than different. I seek to rid stigmas and to do away with labels. We are greater, together! I seek to make therapy feel easy peasy! I take an eclectic approach when dealing with each client because everyone is different. At times, I blend treatment modalities in an effort to meet clients where they are, while finding what works. Easy dialogue is the vehicle that makes things cohesive.

What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
