About My Clients
I enjoy working with all different people, but I build especially deep rapport with those with whom I share lived experience. We could be a good fit if you: -feel like you are crumbling under the weight of chronic pain/illness -are a highly empathic human trying to navigate these difficult times -want to process past trauma—at your pace -were/are the scapegoat/black sheep of your family -grew up in a dysfunctional family -want to step into, process, or explore your sexual or gender identity
My Background and Approach
In therapy, I show up authentically to create a space where—hopefully—you feel you can do the same. I understand & honor that we are human first, and this may look different each day. I am here to listen to understand every aspect of your story & how you got to where you are today. Therapy with me is holistic, compassionate, & grounded in human connection.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I honor my lived experiences in this profession as they have taught me so much beyond my professional and educational training. As a queer person living with invisible chronic/disabling illnesses who grew up in a (very) rural town on the border of Mexico in Texas, I know what it is like to have to hide parts of yourself to survive. I also know the toll that takes. Additionally, I am a trauma survivor, and while my story may not mirror yours, I see it as a source of fuel to my curiosity and the depth of my empathy. I know firsthand the power of being held in affirming, compassionate support—an experience that profoundly changed the trajectory of my life. Now, I continue to carry this forward in my work.
