About
Therapy is a dynamic and deeply personal experience, where I aim to collaborate with clients to create sanctuary spaces for healing rooted in empowerment and embodiment. People come to therapy for a variety of reasons such as looking for guidance, a space to explore thoughts, feelings, behaviors, deepen interpersonal relationships, or create a tool kit for coping mechanisms. I welcome all of these topics and more to support you in achieving your therapeutic goals. As a queer LatinX therapist, I understand the complexity behind people's stories and experiences, and I hope to provide space to examine and feel the weight of them all. View 4 Photos I've had the privilege to work with an array of people coming from diverse backgrounds, including survivors of sexual and domestic violence, couples, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC communities, and more. I specialize in working with complex post-traumatic stress, LatinX Mental Health, grief, attachment, and self-esteem.
