I am a genderqueer, lesbian, Latine immigrant who loves celebrating and supporting multicultural and bilingual experiences in the therapy space, and welcomes clients who want to move between English and Spanish throughout our sessions. As someone living with chronic pain, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate life while carrying invisible experiences. I am a relational, anti-oppressive, and abolitionist therapist, who honors the political nature of therapy. I draw from Relational-Cultural Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to co-create a safe enough space for discomfort, curiosity, and growth. These lenses create space for all of your complexity so that we can move beyond intellectualizing and toward a deeper connection with yourself.
