About My Clients
I primarily focused my studies on communities of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and the effects of pervasive trauma. I also am very interested in neurodivergent and personality disorders. I am interested in working with queer-identifying individuals and people of color. My native language is Spanish, but I am also fully fluent in English due to my upbringing back in my home country.
My Background and Approach
I find that my afro-indigenous heritage is a very important part of who I am, and how I interpret the world around me. I was drawn to the mental health field because, being the child of immigrant parents, I was exposed to pervasive forms of trauma from a very young age. This lead me to feel alone and hopeless for a long time, until the moment I met my first counselor in high school. She was the first person who made me feel like I had a place in this world. My experience with her, and other counselors after her, planted a seed in me that ultimately lead me to discover my passion for therapy, and other modalities of healing. My theoretical orientation for my work is a wellness-based integrative approach. To me this means an integration of narrative therapy approaches to assist you with finding insights as well as infusing person-centered approaches to enrich the relationship we will build together. My framework for therapy also adopts core values of multicultural therapy.
