(she/her)
Hello I am a Hispanic, White, able-bodied, & queer therapist & yoga teacher. My goal in therapy is to co-create a brave space with you to explore your past and current experiences and to dream of your future. I want to help clients embrace all their emotions and trust themselves more. I have seen EMDR & Internal Family systems as therapy tools profoundly change people's lives.
Intake is not like ongoing therapy, so do expect that I will ask a lot about your life and you past. If is ok to not want to talk on a specific subject. We will also discuss what tools we will use in therapy and what sessions will look like moving forward.
I feel I am genuine, honest and open. I won't use therapist voice or try to be a blank slate. I'm a person too and we will feel hard things together but also laugh together.
I work best with those that are open to doing deeper work, perhaps you have already been in therapy before and it helped but there is just more to unpack. I often work with those with trauma history, diagnosis with anxiety or a mood disorder. Also those in life transitions that need support with change.
