Great to meet you!

Across settings my life has been a story of thriving within spaces and roles that others have said weren’t for me. No matter who you are and whatever your background, if you’ve gotten the message that success is off-limits for you, I can help. I’m a therapist who’s joyfully danced across the barriers that others have imposed, and I’ll work patiently and persistently until you can say the same.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style involves listening closely, exploring and gently challenging self-limiting beliefs, and fostering the development of bone-deep self-knowledge and confidence. As a poet, performance artist, DJ, and mother, I bring all aspects of myself into our work, and I’ll value your wholeness and creativity as vaults of the personal wisdom you already hold. I’m honored to partner with anyone who identifies as—or wishes to be—an overcomer. I particularly welcome other Latinas navigating professional spaces. For all who’ve been told that they shouldn’t aim too high, I say "embuste". I know what it’s like to feel like you don’t belong. But through our work, you’ll learn that no one deserves to be “here” any more than you. My practice has limited availability, but if you think we might be a good match, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

What you can expect from me

After our initial session I hope that you leave feeling a sense of relief, grounded and belonging.
