Welcome! I am a Queer Latina Therapist with experience providing therapy to a range of populations including immigrant/refugee, survivors of sexual trauma, LGBTQIA+, youth with disabilities, and people suffering from debilitating depression, anxiety, and C-PTSD as a result of complex trauma. My approach is compassion-focused, strengths-based, Humanistic, eclectic, and C-DBT informed. Above all, my approach is focused based on the particular needs of each person with emphasis on SELF-COMPASSION! I believe that every person has the right to be heard, to heal, and to grow. I approach therapy from a place of kindness and compassion, openness and curiosity. My work with clients begins from a strengths-based place, to ensure that you are seen and understood, taking into account your inherent strengths as well as your areas for growth. I also believe that people are deeply impacted by the world around them and therefore, I focus my work with clients to identify and unpack oppressive forces in their lives. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and have extensive experience providing therapy to children and adults in both languages. My goal is to create a safe space for you to explore any topic without feeling judged or censored. I understand that not everybody heals in the same way, which is why I use a variety of theoretical approaches in my work. Our conversations will be tailored to what works best for your healing and growth. I look forward to working alongside you!
