About My Clients
I work with QTBIPOC, immigrants, asylum seekers, and those navigating grief, loss, and end-of-life transitions. Many of my clients carry layered experiences of displacement, religious trauma, systemic oppression, and intergenerational pain. Together, we create space for healing that honors identity, culture, and resilience while resisting the forces that have tried to silence or erase them.
My Background and Approach
I am an LMSW and a first-generation Indigenous (Maya, Lacandón) social worker who approaches therapy through an anti-oppressive, decolonial, and trauma-informed lens. My work is rooted in honoring lived experience, culture, and resilience, while challenging the systemic forces that create harm. I specialize in supporting QTBIPOC, immigrants, and those navigating grief, end-of-life, migration, religious trauma, and the layered impacts of oppression. My approach integrates narrative therapy, relational-cultural work, and community-based healing practices, centering interdependence as a strength rather than something to be overcome. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we not only address immediate struggles like anxiety or depression, but also trace their roots to broader systems of displacement, colonization, and marginalization. Healing, for me, is both deeply personal and inherently collective.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I don’t see therapy as fixing people, but as creating space to be real without judgment. I believe healing happens in community, through connection, and by remembering we don’t have to carry everything alone. I care about how systems like colonization, racism, and homophobia shape our lives, and I try to bring that awareness into the room so clients don’t feel like their struggles exist in a vacuum. I’m of Indigenous Maya descent and staying connected to my culture, ancestors, and community keeps me grounded. I’m drawn to conversations about grief, transformation, and what liberation looks like in daily life. Outside of sessions, I find joy in art, tattoos, rituals, and time with other queer and immigrant communities. I believe healing isn’t a straight path, it’s messy, creative, and collective, and I try to live that out in my own life as much as I encourage it in others.
