In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a space for us to gently arrive—there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. You can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where we’ll explore what’s bringing you in, what you’re holding, and what you’re hoping for. I’ll ask some guiding questions to better understand your story, but we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and spacious for you. This isn’t about fixing or pathologizing you. It’s about creating room for you to be seen and heard—without needing to mask, perform, or over-explain. You might share pieces of your identity, life experiences, or goals. Or you might not know where to start yet—and that’s completely okay. Whether you come in with clarity or confusion, grief or hope, we’ll begin weaving trust and safety together. By the end of our session, we’ll collaboratively explore whether working together feels like a good fit, and what ongoing support might look like.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to hold complex, intersectional stories with care, nuance, and deep presence. I meet people where they are—without rushing, without assuming—and create space for them to unmask, unfold, and reconnect with their truth at their own pace. Clients often say they feel genuinely seen and deeply understood with me. I bring a rare integration of clinical depth, intuitive wisdom, and lived experience as a queer, neurodivergent, Latina. My approach is grounded in helping people weave their identities, navigate burnout, and rebuild safety in relationships—with others and within themselves. I help them restore what’s been fragmented—gently, holistically, and with a felt sense of restoration at the center.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am particularly positioned to support Women of Color, LGBTQ+ clients, and late-diagnosed neurodivergent individuals navigating questions of identity, belonging, and burnout. Many come to therapy feeling overextended, emotionally exhausted, or caught in patterns of people-pleasing, hyper-independence, or self-doubt—often while holding multiple marginalized identities. I tend to work best with adults who are curious and open-minded. Compassion-focused reflection is central to the work as we navigate neurodivergence, burnout, identity development, and relational stress. Many clients are looking to understand repetitive patterns over time, repair relational ruptures, and feel more grounded and relaxed in their day-to-day lives. In addition to insurance-based services, I offer a limited number of private-pay openings for individual clients. A select number of sliding-scale spots are available and reviewed periodically based on current financial capacity.
