Embarking on a therapeutic journey is a significant step, and I'm here to walk alongside you. As a first-generation college student, a mother, and bi-racial Mexican-American, I bring a unique blend of personal experiences to my practice. My passion for therapy emerged during my own adolescence when a therapist guided me through challenging family transitions. Witnessing the transformative power of therapy and the growth it fosters is a privilege I carry into my work.
My motivation to serve in this field stems from the belief that everyone deserves access to mental health services. I aim to bridge the gap in accessibility, making therapy more inclusive and affordable for individuals of all identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and belief systems. I want to contribute to normalizing mental health care as a vital aspect of overall well-being.
In our therapeutic partnership, I seek clients who are open to change, comfortable with online platforms, and value consistency. My approach is creative and collaborative, tailored to your goals and preferences. Flexibility is a key aspect of my practice, as I accommodate rescheduling and work with your availability. I provide a judgment-free, warm, and nurturing environment where you can explore your strengths and receive the support you need.
Collaboration is at the heart of my therapeutic approach. I view the client as the expert of their experience, considering us equals in our dynamic. With a background in working extensively with the LGBTQIA+ community, I bring affirming language and a trauma-informed lens to our sessions. My aim is to empower you, helping you recognize and embrace your unique qualities and strengths that may have needed a bit of guidance to come to light. I find great joy in witnessing the transformative journey of the human spirit and believe there's always room for learning and growth in this dynamic field.
