My Approach to Helping

How can you live as your best, most authentic self? Mental health struggles often get in the way of getting the most out of our day to day experiences and relationships. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who takes a holistic, person-centered, and multicultural approach to supporting clients in finding balance within an unbalanced world. I have over 4 years of experience treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, issues related to life transitions, and challenges related to gender and sexuality.

More Info About My Practice

In our work you can expect to develop increased self-awareness, new skills, and meaningful direction that can help you to not only grow, but thrive. Reaching out for support can be intimidating, and I strive to make this process accessible and comfortable for anyone who thinks we might be a good fit.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I have extensive experience performing psycho-social assessments to write letters of support for gender affirming medical care.

Groups I Work With

    As a proud Latino and member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am passionate about providing support for those who are marginalized in our society. Additionally, I am knowledgeable and affirming of kinkBDSM, non-monogamy, and sex work. My counseling approach considers the unique intersections of identity that we all hold while honoring the truth of each person’s lived experience. I strive to be genuine, non-judgmental, and unconditionally supportive with all clients. I value transparency in my work so that we can build trust, stay informed, and know what to expect from services.
