About My Clients
I distinctly remember being told how mature and well behaved I was as a child. It was a badge I wore proudly for years! It wasn’t until I became a young adult that I really began to understand that this was my form of a trauma response. It was my way of accessing care, self-worth and love. I wonder if this resonates with you?
My Background and Approach
Embedded in my therapeutic approach are values centered on fat liberation, antiracism, feminism and anti-capitalistic practices. We'll use an Internal Family Systems approach to connect with our grounded, values-based selves. I’ll encourage you to appreciate the ways our bodies try to protect us. Once we begin to understand our system, we begin to transform.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I show up in the world as a fat, queer, Latina and my therapeutic approach as a counselor reflects that. I know how powerful therapy can be when the therapeutic relationship is built on emotional safety and trust. My goal as your therapist is to support you in regaining self-trust, compassion and confidence.
