Great to meet you!

I provide a warm and non-judgmental space so you can speak openly about your experiences. I bring understanding working with LGBTQ+ individuals, first and second-generation immigrants, sex workers, and those in ENM/poly relationships so that you can focus less on explaining yourself and more on why you came to therapy. As a Latina transgender woman, I know the importance of being cared for without having to leave part of yourself at the door.

My approach to therapy

We'll develop a personalized approach using more structured methods when appropriate as well as open-ended processing to allow for the healing and growth that is natural to you. I've supported clients with healing from trauma, coping with depression and anxiety, and navigating family or relationship challenges. I also offer art and tarot as visual prompts.

What you can expect from me

In our consultation and first sessions we'll get to know each other, build trust, and set intentions for therapy. As we progress through sessions I'll support you to cope with difficult emotions, to better understand and accept parts of yourself, and to challenge yourself to grow in ways that are important to you.
