About My Clients
Are you exhausted from chronic overgiving? As a first-generation individual, an eldest daughter, or a QTBIPOC person navigating complex family dynamics, you might feel like your needs always have to come last. You may be carrying the heavy weight of Latinx cultural expectations, unlearning religious trauma, or healing from intimate partner violence. You are tired of constantly shrinking yourself to keep the peace, and you are ready to figure out who you actually are underneath it all.
My Approach to Helping
Healing is a messy, beautiful process of self-discovery, and I do not believe in rushing it. I know that taking the first step into therapy can be intimidating, so we will move exactly at the pace of your comfort to build deep trust and rapport. My clients often describe my therapeutic style as open, honest, and filled with warmth and humor. Because I have navigated many of these exact same systemic wounds and cultural expectations, I offer a space of advanced empathy. Here, you never have to translate your family trauma, your religious deconstruction, or the sheer terror that comes with setting your very first boundary. If you are ready to show up, get a little vulnerable, and co-create a safe space for your healing, I would love to connect with you. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation.
Why I am a Good Fit for You
I operate from the Social Model of Mental Health, meaning we will actively process how systemic oppression and cultural trauma impact your daily life. I blend a highly collaborative, relational space with deep, structured trauma treatments. I specialize in: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Complex Trauma & PTSD Recovery, Somatic & Nervous System Regulation. Whether we are using unstructured narrative therapy or targeted trauma processing, we will work together to break inherited patterns, eliminate overgiving behaviors, and help you confidently reclaim your voice. I hold a profound, dedicated space for QTBIPOC individuals, women navigating complex trauma, and neurodivergent folks. My practice is loudly poly-affirming, kink-allied, and deeply intersectional. I provide secure, virtual therapy for young adults across the entire state of Illinois. To ensure community care remains accessible, we are in-network with major insurances.
