My communication style

I prioritize creating a warm, affirming, and empathetic environment where you feel safe and understood. I believe in the power of active listening when working with one another. I approach our conversations with cultural sensitivity and humility, recognizing the unique experiences and challenges you face.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up as a queer Latino, I personally understood the challenges of navigating multiple, intersecting identities. The journey to self-acceptance was marked by moments of doubt, resilience, and profound growth. These personal experiences ignited a passion within me to support others facing similar struggles.

My goals for you

We collaboratively set clear, achievable goals that reflect your unique experiences and aspirations. Utilizing CBT and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, we focus on identifying your strengths and building upon them. We explore what you hope to achieve, whether it's managing anxiety, improving relationships, or embracing your authentic self.

Our first session

In our first session, my primary goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and affirming environment where you feel safe and respected. We'll start by discussing what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. By the end of our first meeting, we will have laid the foundation for a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship.
