I am a bilingual (Spanish & English) marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 13 years of experience working in clinical practice. I am born and raised in San Francisco's Mission District. I am Salvarodan and Nicaraguan; and a native Spanish speaker. I adhere to the First Nations (Maya and Nahuatl) and Yoruba paradigm of health and wellness. I understand how forced displacement, systemic & institutionalized oppression, discrimination, and the multitude of microagressions historically marginalized communities endure lead to the re-enactment of the violence caused by colonialism. Affirmation about cultural and ethnic identity is generally lacking at the present moment resulting in many communities experiencing traumatic, and humiliating experiences related to their ethnic pride and culture. It is within this framework of Liberation Psychology that I integrate evidenced-based techniques and interventions to empower clients on their healing journey.
