I am plant parent who enjoys creating herbal tea blends, knitting, reading, backpacking, practicing Kung Fu, meditating, and hanging out with family and friends. My clinical foundation is rooted in Contemplative Psychotherapy. I have worked in crisis support line, agency, substance use disorder intensive outpatient (SUD IOP), and community mental health settings serving children, adolescents, and adults from a variety of backgrounds, identities, and socioeconomic statuses in English and Spanish.

I’m drawn to working with people navigating trauma/PTSD/CPTSD, grief, and life transitions. As a trauma therapist, the core of my approach is informed by Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I drawn on strength-based and and person-centered evidenced-based modalities to inform my clinical work including Motivational Interviewing, Solutions-focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

As Latine, gender fluid, and neurodivergent, I believe a multicultural lens and social justice approach are integral to the therapeutic process. I’m passionate about working with people who are navigating ethnicity and race challenges, dealing with stress around identity and marginalization, healing from experiences of trauma, exploring substance use and recovery, and developing self-acceptance.
