As a licensed therapist, I specialize in creating a compassionate and affirming space for members of the Latino and LGBTQIA+ communities and their allies. I deeply understand the complexities of cultural and personal identity that shape your experience. Taking this step toward healing is vulnerable, and I'm committed to ensuring you feel seen, heard, and valued throughout our sessions. I look forward to supporting your growth.
Therapy is a safe, affirming, and empathetic space where you are seen and heard. I use active listening and cultural humility, focusing on the unique identities and challenges of the Latino & LGBTQIA+ communities and their allies. Our integrative approach is tailored to your specific goals, fostering an empowering and collaborative relationship.
Starting therapy is brave. Our first session is a warm, safe, and affirming space dedicated to building trust and clarifying your goals. We'll discuss your history, strengths, and concerns to create a preliminary plan. I work to ease any awkwardness; this is a collaborative process. We'll lay the foundation for your journey toward growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
