I will work with you to come up with a therapeutic approach to either improve or continue your ability to thrive. A little bit about myself is I was born in El Salvador, I came to the United States when I was little, raised by a single mother who always push me to my potential and teach me that everything is possible if we put our minds to it. I understand the struggles you may have come across as a Latinx person navigating systemic oppression, searching for your identity in new environments; A your therapy, I will help you find those skills to help you on this journey of self discovery.
