About

I am a Latina, Cis-female (she/her/ella). My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe therapeutic space for individuals of any background to process and heal without judgment. I work with all identities, but am especially passionate about working with BIPOC/Global Majority, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse populations. I'm quite sarcastic, laidback, incorporate humor as appropriate into therapy, do not use a lot of clinical jargon, and feel that it is important to build a solid therapeutic relationship with trust, honesty, and support. View 5 Photos I am a systemic therapist with an integrative approach which includes relational, emotion focused, CBT, narrative, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, & experiential play topped with a sarcastic twist. I am trained in Level 1 & 2 IFS, EMDR, Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT), SMARTMoves, TF-CBT, and SCERTSModel.
