I am a warm, affectionate, and validating therapist with an eclectic and humorous style. My approach is emotion-focused, trauma-informed, and rooted in anti-oppression. I believe in exploring what happened to people instead of what is wrong with them, recognizing the impact of trauma and oppression on their health, and acting from a place of validation, compassion, and empowerment. I like connecting with people and helping them feel seen, heard, understood and believed. I’m passionate about supporting clients to overcoming childhood and attachment trauma; live courageously and challenging old trauma/fear narratives; find their inner wisdom and learn to trust their gut and emotions; standing up against oppressive environments and finding belonging in safe spaces; appreciate themselves just as they are; find their life purpose and connect with their spirituality. I use a range of approaches, including Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy, and approaches for single or complex trauma treatment. I have lived experience as a cis-woman, neurodivergent, POC, Latina immigrant.

If you are interested in working with me, you can contact me by phone or email to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, ask questions, and see if we are a good fit. If we decide to work together, we will meet for weekly or biweekly sessions, depending on your availability and preference. Each session will last for 50 minutes and will be conducted online via a secure video platform. During our sessions, we will collaborate on setting goals, exploring issues, finding solutions, and celebrating progress. I will offer you feedback, guidance, support, and encouragement along the way. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and dynamic process, and I strive to make it a positive and rewarding experience for you.
