About My Clients

My clients are adults who want a space where they don’t have to explain or minimize their experiences. Many are deep thinkers who have been impacted by trauma, sexual assault, or relationship violence and are looking for support that feels steady, compassionate, and grounding. My clients come from many cultural backgrounds and value therapy that honors their identity, pace, and boundaries. They are thoughtful, resilient, and seeking a therapeutic relationship that feels safe and genuine.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly 8 years of experience supporting trauma survivors, mostly Hispanic and Latinx adults. I know the world can feel overwhelming and messy, and that what you’re feeling, anxiety, anger, sadness, or just being stuck, is not a flaw or something to “fix.” In my space, you don’t have to explain, defend, or minimize your experiences. You can simply be yourself, and be seen, held, and understood exactly as you are. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and intentionally different from traditional therapy. I blend humor, curiosity, and open-mindedness with decolonizing principles, honoring your story, identity, and cultural context. Together, we’ll untangle expectations, set boundaries without guilt, reconnect with who you truly are, and reclaim your voice. Healing isn’t about fixing, it’s about trusting, restoring, and building a life rooted in your soul.
