Meet De (They/Them)
As a non-binary, queer Latine therapist, I understand the power of feeling seen and supported when navigating complex identities. My own experiences with self-discovery ignite my passion for creating a safe, inclusive space where you can explore who you are and celebrate the person you’re becoming. I’m deeply committed to collective liberation and believe that mental health is a vital part of creating a more just world.
My Approach
With a curious, playful, and supportive spirit, I’ll provide you with the tools and insights to understand your past and shape your present. My approach draws from anti-oppressive practices, humanistic philosophy, and liberation theologies. We’ll work together using Internal Family Systems, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and somatic modalities to heal, grow, and thrive.
Specializations
I’m passionate about working with folks exploring all aspects of their identity, including race, gender, sexuality, non-monogamy, kink, and spirituality. If you’re navigating grief and loss, major life transitions, substance use, co-occurring medical disorders, or trauma, I’m here to help with the following:
- Identity exploration (race, gender, sexuality, non-monogamy, kink, spirituality)
- Grief and loss
- Life transitions
- Substance use
- Co-occurring medical disorders
- Trauma
Who I Work With
While I am open to working with couples, I especially enjoy working with teens, adults (18+), and families. Whether you’re an adolescent questioning your world, a young adult forging your path, or an older adult seeking deeper understanding, I welcome you. There’s no wrong time to start investing in yourself.
Age & Type of Therapy:
13 years +
Individual, Couples, and Family
Languages I speak:
English and Spanish
Beyond the Therapy Room
I’m an avid birdwatcher, and my mornings start with the joyful chorus of birds at my feeders (which I diligently refill every day!). I’m often laughing, fidgeting with something in my environment, and expressing myself through ever-changing hair and nail colors. (I believe in the power of a great outfit!) Currently, my playlist is a mix of Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, FLO, Doechii, and Sam Cooke.
Let’s build the life you deserve!
