Expertise in Identity & Collective Liberation
As a non-binary, queer Latine therapist, I am a specialist in helping individuals navigate the profound complexities of identity. My work is rooted in the belief that mental health is a radical act of collective liberation. I provide expert, affirming care for those exploring the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and spirituality. My passion lies in creating a space that is not just “safe,” but actively celebratory of the person you are becoming.
Clinical Specialty: Gender-Affirming & Expansive Lifestyles
I am an expert in supporting the LGBTQIA+ and Enby communities, including those navigating non-monogamy, kink, and expansive relationship structures. I understand that these identities require more than just “tolerance” from a therapist—they require a clinician who is deeply versed in the nuances of these lifestyles and the systemic pressures that accompany them.
A Multimodal, Anti-Oppressive Approach
My therapeutic style is curious, playful, and deeply grounded in clinical excellence. I utilize a sophisticated blend of anti-oppressive practices and humanistic philosophy to help you understand your past and reclaim your present. My toolkit includes:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): To explore the different parts of your internal world.
DBT & ACT: For building emotional resilience and values-aligned action.
Somatic & Mindfulness Modalities: To bridge the gap between cognitive insight and bodily healing.
Specialized Support for Complex Challenges
I provide specialized care for high-acuity needs, including substance use recovery, co-occurring medical disorders, and trauma. My approach to grief and loss is expansive, recognizing that transitions—whether personal, professional, or medical—require a steady, expert hand to navigate.
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with adolescents (13+), adults, and families. Whether it’s a teen questioning their world or an older adult seeking deeper self-understanding, I offer a bilingual (English/Spanish) environment that honors your cultural and individual heritage.

Beyond the Therapy Room
I’m an avid birdwatcher—my mornings start with the joyful chorus of birds at my feeders. I believe in the power of a great outfit, and you’ll often find me expressing my creativity through ever-changing hair and nail colors. My internal rhythm is set to a mix of Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, FLO, Doechii, and Sam Cooke.
Let’s build the life you deserve. I am here to help you heal, grow, and thrive.
