Life can feel overwhelming at times, but hey, you are not alone! As a queer Latina immigrant, I've navigated many transitions and challenges myself. I’m here to embrace your dark and quirky humor as we explore how your environment influences you and identify the changes you can make. My work focuses on body and sex positivity, overcoming systemic and cultural barriers, addressing toxic masculinity, and healing generational trauma.
Maybe you're going through changes or just feeling like it's time to deal with your stuff. Maybe you're tired of struggling to get through and battling anxiety every day. Facing our past or fearing our future can be paralyzing sometimes, but this is the first step to overcoming that, and you got this.
If you feel like it's time to do the work and get to a place where you feel good about yourself, I am here for you! I am dedicated to supporting my clients in a safe space, as they explore what brought them to therapy.
