I am a Licensed Psychologist and founder of the Aguirre Center of Inclusive Psychotherapy, a group practiced dedicated to providing culturally-sensitive, insight-oriented individual and group psychotherapy to adults.  We have a passion for working with the Latinx community  and for helping individuals establish more satisfying, authentic relationships with others and with themselves.

As a Chicana/Latina (daughter of Mexican immigrant parents), I know first-hand the unique stressors that Latinx face as they navigate the challenges living and working in a society that is embedded in systemic oppression. In my work, I utilize an intersectional, culturally-informed approach to understand dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression that have shaped my clients identities and lived experiences. For Latinx folks, an important part of our work is healing the wounds from racial trauma (microaggressions, racism, violence,  stereotypes, poverty, and discrimination). Furthermore, I honor the cultural practices, traditions, and creativity that have enabled Latinx and indigenous communities to overcome oppression and build resilience.

My practice is LGBT-affirming, Sex-Positive, Trauma-Informed, and Poly-Aware and Kink-Knowledgeable. I am a generalist with over 15 years of experience working a wide range of presenting concerns. My areas of clinical expertise include:

• PTSD/Trauma
• Depression
• Anxiety & Stress Management
• High-functioning/Over-functioning Professionals
• Perfectionism
• Women’s Issues
• Sexuality, Love, and Relationship issues
• LGBTQ-affirming therapy • Cross-cultural/multicultural issues
• Racism and Race-based Traumatic Stress
• Group Psychotherapy

PLEASE NOTE:  I am an Out-of-Network provider health insurance companies and I do not bill insurance companies. What this means is that you would have to pay for your sessions upfront (with a debit 0r credit card), and I will provide you with a detailed receipt (called a superbill) of our services that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.  I also do not work with any EAP (Employee Assistance Programs).
