About My Clients
I provide therapy for adolescents and adults and I have worked extensively with the adolescents and young adults. Culture, faith, and spiritual beliefs are important parts of who we are as people and integrate this into my practice. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and hold a social justice perspective. Perinatal, pregnancy, post partum, and parenting are also areas of focus and passion.
