About

We all deserve a space to truly be ourselves free from judgment or fear. I'm dedicated to providing that for you through vulnerability, curiosity, and compassion. With 10 years of experience in clinical sexology and coaching, I bring unique perspectives to the therapeutic setting providing a gentle yet direct framework from which to collaborate. As a Latina therapist, I understand the necessity of a trauma-informed multicultural lens and the power it has to ignite great change. I aim to support you in developing healthy boundaries while expanding tolerance for discomfort. Because after all, pain is essential, suffering is a choice.
