Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
As a neurodivergent therapist, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, embracing diversity in all its forms. My approach is firmly rooted in anti-racism, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and gender inclusivity, while actively promoting neurodiversity acceptance. My spiritually open mindset allows me to respect and explore various belief systems. Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I empower clients to navigate and challenge oppressive systems that often underlie emotional distress. My commitment to inclusive practices ensures that each individual's intersecting identities are acknowledged and valued throughout our work together. I create a safe space for clients of all body types and sexual expressions, maintaining a sex-positive and kink-friendly stance.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
In my therapeutic practice, I bring my whole, authentic self to every session. As an intuitive feeler (INFJ), I approach my work with a deep sense of empathy and insight. My core values significantly shape my therapeutic style, with a strong emphasis on fostering creativity, ensuring safety, upholding integrity, and embracing new experiences that catalyze positive change. I particularly value the development of relational depth in therapy, believing that a strong, genuine connection between therapist and client is fundamental to the healing process. This authentic approach allows me to create a space where clients feel truly seen, understood, and supported as they navigate their personal growth journey.

Work HistoryMy clinical work focuses on diverse populations with unique needs. I specialize in treating adults experiencing trauma or complex trauma. My practice extends to entrepreneurs running small businesses, as well as professionals in the creative industry, and executives navigating high-pressure environments. I also work with healthcare professionals, supporting them through the challenges of their demanding field. Additionally, I guide fathers and parents as they navigate the complexities of parenthood. A significant part of my practice involves working with Latinx Americans as they explore and integrate various aspects of their identities, including racial, ethnic, sexual, professional, and spiritual dimensions. I enjoy collaborating with individuals who are prepared to invest in themselves and commit to personal growth.
