About My Clients
Throughout my experiences in working with individuals, relationships, and families with multiple marginalized identities, I’ve learned that the care you extend to yourself can generate transformative shifts within the collectives we all inhabit. In our sessions together, I’ll invite you to explore expansiveness, flexibility, and softness. My aim is to fully embrace my humanity alongside you, creating conditions for holding and sustaining your healing journey.
My Background and Approach
As a descendant of Mexican immigrant parents and as a queer, first-generation, bilingual therapist, my approach to mental healthcare seeks to meet you where you are—tailoring therapeutic interventions to address the intersectional struggles of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ emerging adults navigating complex trauma, mood dysregulation and anxiety challenges, identity exploration, and the weight of life transitions, instability, and burnout. I believe therapy can be an expansive and fluid space: a place to pause, feel, and reconnect to your own wisdom and capacity for change, even in systems that too often demand we fragment or erase who we are. In practice, this looks like integrating third-wave behavioral therapies (ACT, DBT, CBT) to tenderly hold and examine patterns of chronic discomfort, distress, and disruption that have surfaced in your life and that have strained your capacity for meaningfully connecting with yourself, with others in your community, and with the world.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I live a life as a person of color constantly coming up against a culture of white supremacy and racial capitalism. I understand what it’s like to move at the pace of urgency, under the weight of racism, cis-heteronormativity, ableism, sexism, sizeism, xenophobia, and other forces of oppression. These forces infiltrate our essence, embed themselves in our nervous systems, and propel our minds into a state of chronic survival and scarcity. We come to make neither space nor time for rest and restoration and instead make habit out of abandoning our needs, our agency, and our pleasure in order to safely make ends meet, never fully settling into a life well-lived. Consequently, the body and the mind no longer feel like home. This painful reality is evident in our lives. Addressing this forms the foundation of my healing work.
