High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
Welcome (Bienvenido/a/x). I’m a bilingual therapist with Mexican roots, and I honor the ways culture can both support and challenge us. I support folks navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, cultural expectations, racial or immigration stress, and codependency, and I have deep experience working with BIPOC clients and LGBTQ+ and ally communities. I’m a Certified EMDR Therapist and use Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT, and mindfulness practices. I create a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are—and where you’ll be encouraged to do the work and apply it to your life right away.
