**Currently Not Accepting New Therapy Clients; Only Accepting New Testing Clients** It can be challenging being a strongly opinionated person in a society that may not see all you have to offer. Maybe your family, teachers, or even friends did not appreciate you speaking up or did not accept you for your size or shape or identities. Our society may have made it even more difficult for you to thrive in ways that you used to or ways that you always wished you could. It might be time to get more support to live a truly happier life.
You may know exactly what is getting in the way of living your best life, or you may be uncertain. You are the expert in your own life, and my job is to help you connect the different parts of yourself so that you can live a more satisfying and authentic life. My goal is always to empower you and build upon the beneficial skills you already have.
The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of my treatment. I primarily work with People of Color and LGBTQIA2+ folx, although I aim to create a space that is welcoming and accepting of everyone. I utilize a cultural lens in therapy and affirm all the identities that make you who you are. I also have conversational Spanish-speaking skills.
