Professional statement

I am a Chicana therapist and consider myself a tenacious advocate for my community and the other marginalized communities. I work from an anti-oppressive social justice framework, consciously working to undo the effects of colonization. I uses positive psychology to highlight my clients' unique strengths and abilities.

When I work with a client, I endeavors to incorporate therapy practices that fully respect and reflect that client's cultural, religious, spiritual, and personal values. I offer support and validation while unpacking past experiences and identifying future coping strategies, so that they can find a renewed sense of balance in their life.

Message to clients

I became a therapist because I want to actively work against the oppressive systems that have left marginalized communities without access to care from people who look like the. I work with all people who have historically been ignored and misunderstood. This might mean they identify as autistic, having ADHD, Latinx, LGBTQ+, or people of color.

I create a space where every client feels heard, validated, and engaged. I often urge my clients to dive deeper into the meaning of their actions while amplifying the many strengths they carry. Clients gain a deeper sense of themselves, allowing them to regulate emotions and navigate difficult situations more effectively.

There are times we find ourselves moving through life feeling disempowered. This experience can be distressing for anyone, creating self-doubt, anxiety, and depression. It takes great strength to be vulnerable and open to sharing your experiences with others. I admire your courage in taking the first step toward healing these wounds. I want to invite you to a non-judgmental, supportive space where we can work together on processing your past experiences and highlighting your areas of strength- so that you can find a renewed sense of balance in your life.
