Therapy can be a safe space to truly encounter yourself and your self in relation to another, to look at what has shaped you, how you’ve survived and where to go from here. It can be profound work to fully experience yourself, understand your vulnerabilities to help lead to transformation and connectedness.Â
I am a lesbian, Latinx, trauma-informed, relational, and body positive therapist. My ethnic background is that I’m half Mexican and half white. I often work with folks who feel they are straddling multiple cultures and are making sense of their own complexities.Â
I work from a relational and depth-oriented standpoint with my clients to help them work through challenges related to trauma, substance use, relationships and attachment, ADD, high sensitivity and emotional regulation. I am trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, brainspotting and exposure and response prevention therapy.Â
I offer relationship and individual therapy. I see clients in person in Pasadena, California and virtually via telehealth serving all of California.
I welcome you to this space and look forward to meeting you!
