they/them
Life is about change and growth, but sometimes society thinks it can tell us how to look, act, live, love, and show up in the world. As a LatinX, Native American, queer, nonbinary, non-monogamous, and kinky fat person, I believe everyone deserves to feel they belong in this world. That is why I am here. I'm the person that will create a non-judgmental, supportive space for you to explore who you are and be a companion and guide as you find your truth.
Outside of therapy, I walk my two lovable poochipoos and watch way too many cooking shows with my husband. My favorites are The Great British Baking Show and Worse Cooks In America. I also love painting, drawing, and spending time with my chosen family playing silly board games.
who i work with
I work with people who feel lost, misunderstood, and hopeless. Maybe you are in the process of exploring your sexuality or gender identity. Maybe you are thinking of opening up your relationship, or you and your partner(s) are struggling with navigating an already open relationship. Maybe your body's shape and size, race, or socioeconomic status have you feeling isolated and invisible. I see you. I want to help. I work with folx that have challenges in life and situations that most people wouldn't ever dream of having to go through. This is because I've been through a lot in my own life, and I know what it's like to have to struggle to get to a place of self-love, renewed purpose, and self-acceptance.
therapeutic style
People often express they feel very safe and seen around me, that they feel they could tell me anything. I feel this is the greatest compliment anyone could ever share with me, and it's the people that have told me this that have inspired me to become who I am today. I want to bring that ability to see those that don't feel seen into my work. I want to empower the unempowered and watch the growth that can come from that. I believe we each have what we need to heal. I will be honored to support you on this journey.
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, I approach therapy from a queer paradigm. My practice is based on experiential, narrative, systemic and intergenerational therapy models. I have experience in working with individuals, couples, families, and groups on a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, relationship challenges, grief/loss, ADHD, teens and adults, LGBTQIA+, gender identity, BIPOC, family systems, and tribal issues.
"The human being has an inbuilt propensity towards self-realization. If obstacles are removed…the individual will develop into a mature, fully realized adult, just as an acorn will develop into an oak tree."
