Get To Know Me
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. You might find a therapy that you really click with, and you might find another that is not. You CAN and SHOULD fire your therapist if they aren't speaking to you and what you need. That doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong with them or you, it's just not the right fit. Don't be afraid to use your voice. You are the client, and your voice MATTERS.
Were there lessons in your professional or academic career that left an impression on you, and how has that informed your work today?
A lot of the early training I got cemented the fact that many interventions and techniques were made by and for straight cis hetero white men. As individuals who do not fall into these neat little boxes sometimes we need something different, something more, and I work hard to continue to develop my learning and awareness to truly be present as your therapist to see all the intersectional identities my clients hold. Therapy is unique to everyone and it is not something you can follow a manual with and I'm always open to pivoting and trying new things!
What is your style/approach to therapy?
It varies! Sometimes I do trauma work with methodologies such as IFS and EMDR, while sometimes I can be more flexible and explore through talk therapy what may be affecting your life. I also identify as a geek, and know there is a huge power to pop culture that can be leveraged in the therapy room. TV, books, movies, comics, and games can all teach us really powerful lessons about ourselves and help us grow. Fiction and fun are another form of exploring our inner selves and healing in a different space that can be fun!

Work HistoryI have worked in several different community settings before having branched out to my own private practice. I worked within a maternity medical clinic where I was often working with new moms navigating the challenges and changes of being a new parent, as well as figuring out how they wanted to parent compared to their own experiences with their own parents. I also have some experience working in a general clinic in a small border town, where I assisted clients aged 5-80 with various issues including: anxiety, PTSD, depression, sexual identity, bipolar and general stress. I have also run groups and individual therapy in a high school setting where I worked with teens and on occasion their families as they navigated a new and often confusing phase of their life.
Currently my specialty lies in working with adults and young adults in the latinx and LBTQ communities navigate through identifying who they want to be and make sense of the often unjust systems that can be very harmful to individuals of color, queer persons, and neurodiverse individuals. I use EMDR and IFS often in my trauma work to help integrate and decrease charges of certain events and voices that we still carry within ourselves that may be holding us back from being the best version of ourself.
