Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
As bell hooks observed, “Healing is an act of communion.” I am a queer, Latine therapist passionate about the restorative power of the therapeutic relationship. I aim to create a safe, affirming space in which you can explore new ways to engage with your experiences, your relationships, and with life's dilemmas. Together, we’ll use your inherent strengths to gently shift patterns that no longer serve you to cultivate a renewed sense of wellness and fulfillment. My areas of focus are the LGBTQ+ community, complex trauma, depression, minority stress, anxiety, and relational issues. My therapeutic approach is individualized and person-centered incorporating EMDR, dialectical behavior therapy, parts work, and psychodynamic therapy. Reaching out for support may feel frightening. I commend you for taking this step. If you are interested in working with me, or have any questions, I offer an initial consultation to chat about your goals and determine if we may be a good fit. I offer evening as well as weekend hours.
