About My Clients

The populations that I best serve are LGBTQIA+, life transitions, religious trauma, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have a lot of experience with self-identifying womxn, teens, and young adults. I mainly provide sessions online, but I do have openings for 1:1 surf therapy sessions and nature therapy sessions.

My Background and Approach

I believe that the mind and body are connected. Through somatic modalities, like Surf Therapy, Nature Therapy, DBT, and other approaches, we can reconnect, remember, and enrich the connection of our bodies and mind from experiences that have caused us to disconnect from ourselves. I tailor each therapy session to the client and the most prevalent needs. We will work collaboratively to reach your goals. Certifications: - Surf Therapy - Somatic Attachment Therapy - Grief Treatment - DBT

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone is doing the best they can with what they are given. The first step in change is by you being here and looking for a therapist! Hug yourself for showing self-love by bettering your mental health. I am second generation Mexican- American and queer. I grew up in a Christian household and had my fair share of religious trauma to work through in my own personal therapy. I love the outdoors and believe that nature is very healing.
