About My Clients
Did you know that 1 in 5 women experience some form of anxiety and depression during pregnancy and even two years after their baby is born? Many times life is different than we expected and this is especially true when a baby comes into the family. For many caregivers, this time is filled with stress, sadness, worry, guilt, and shame. If this sounds like you, know that you are not alone and with the right help you can get well.
My Background and Approach
I work with clients from a place of compassion and non-judgment informed by how diverse the human experience can be. Although treatment is tailored to meet your needs, some tools I use are: Cognitive therapy- understanding the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Mindfulness and self-compassion- based on the idea of talking and thinking about ourselves in the way we would someone we care about it. Psychodynamic therapy- centers on patterns of thinking and feeling that we develop from experiences throughout life but especially childhood. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, a health-at-every-size practitioner, an anti-oppressive & anti-racist practitioner, and a kink positive therapist. As a Latina and person of color, we will create a space to explore any issues of biases, prejudice, privilege, and racism that apply to your life journey. After all, how we experience the world will inevitably affect our mental health and wellbeing.
