Finding Your Way Through the Tough Stuff Together

You're looking for a therapist who won't judge the parts of yourself you've been told to hide. Maybe you're struggling with intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to share, exploring your gender identity, processing grief that feels overwhelming, or navigating kink in a world that doesn't always understand. You might be a young person trying to make sense of big feelings, or a parent supporting your child through their journey. You need someone who gets that healing happens when you can show up exactly as you are.

As a queer, Latino, neurodivergent therapist, I create space for all parts of your experience, especially the ones that feel hardest to talk about. I work with anxiety, depression, OCD, self-harm, and gender dysphoria using approaches that honor your unique needs. Having worked in crisis facilities, I also understand the trauma that can come from being Baker Acted, and I'm here to help you process all of these experiences without judgment.

I specialize in supporting:

• Youth (ages 3+) and young adults navigating identity and mental health

• LGBTQ+ individuals exploring gender and sexuality

• Parents seeking guidance in supporting their children

• People working through OCD, self-harm, and intrusive thoughts

• Folks managing psychotic disorders who are seeking ongoing support

• Those processing grief and loss

• Kink-aware and kink-affirming therapy

My approach blends LGBTQ+-affirming counseling with person-centered therapy and CBT techniques, and I incorporate play therapy for younger clients. Whether we're working through anxiety, unpacking trauma, exploring identity, or managing ongoing mental health conditions, I'll meet you where you are with warmth and authenticity.

Practical Details:

• Accepting: Cigna, Aetna, BCBS

• Self-pay: $100 per session

• Individual and relationship counseling

• In-person and virtual sessions available

• Working with ages 3+ through adulthood
