About My Clients
I am most passionate about helping adults who hold identities from groups intentionally and historically excluded because of their race or ethnicity, gender, sexual or affectional orientation, or ability statuses including intersecting identities. My hope is we can work together to empower you to explore how systems have impacted your life and to lean into your strengths to navigate your own path towards resilience and success; whatever you define that to be.
My Background and Approach
Who I am Passionate to Help: Latino/Hispanic Communities | Women & Men from Marginalized Communities | LGBTQIA+ Communities | People who need to heal from previous negative therapy experiences | Overachievers & Professionals | Young Adults & Gen Z | Therapists & Counselors | Other Helpers (Nurses, Teachers, etc.) What Therapy With Me Looks Like: I focus sessions on listening to you as a whole person including your cultural story, systemic oppressions, and how you can reengage with your personal cultural healing practices as YOU define them to be.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My practice, Strengthening Wellness, is committed to care that is rooted in safety & inclusion for all historically excluded & marginalized persons & identities. You are always welcome in our healing space to come exactly as you are and to be your true self. We are dedicated to offering counseling to help anyone find their path to wellness. At our practice, we believe that all pieces of wellness, from cultural healing and beliefs, the power of community, and the benefits of a safe space, are valued and worthy. We believe all persons are worthy of care, listening, and therapy. We stand by the data and research supporting the need to broaden the definition of wellness and to acknowledge the healing power of lifting up voices that have been censored, suppressed, or denied. We are committed to being open to talking about culture, race, discrimination, and the hard topics that impact marginalized and excluded realities with compassion and humility.
