Welcome! Hola! I’m an AASECT-Certified bilingual, sex-positive therapist, here to support dismantling negative sex tropes upheld by society. I am trauma-informed, centered on experiences of kink, queer, LGBTQIA, and BIPOC communities. I specialize in the Cluster B Personality Disorders (BPD, NPD, ASP, Histrionic) and also help individuals needing support on their weight loss journey while still supporting body positivity and fat pride/liberation. I also provide supervision for associate clinicians looking to complete their hours towards licensure.
I specialize in cognitive behavior, dialectical behavior, and schema therapy, as well as personal sexual growth, intimacy, sexual expression, and work intimately within the kink community. The clients who would benefit most from my expertise are those who struggle with expression, acceptance of oneself, and/or struggle to voice their needs and boundaries.
Here, you will challenge your personal concerns, build mental health skills, deepen your insight and perspective, and better understand yourself and your place in the world. Let’s eradicate long-standing negative attitudes towards sex, body, and mind!
