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 work from an integrative, depth-oriented approach. I blend psychoanalytic and trauma-sensitive modalities to help my clients work through anxiety, depression, relational trauma, addiction, relationships and attachment, body image, depression and emotional regulation difficulties. I work with adults, teens and relationship dynamics.
I bring a multicultural, queer and neurodiversity-affirming lens to this work as a Latinx (Mexican-American/White) and openly lesbian therapist. I value working with folks at all types of intersections of identity on ethnic, gender and sexuality spectrum(s).
I see couples and individuals in person in Pasadena and virtually throughout California.
I welcome you to this space and look forward to meeting you!
