Therapy style

I have practiced psychotherapy for over 10 years focused on LGBTQ+ and Spanish-speaking communities enduring complex trauma and chronic illness. I have a direct and affirming therapeutic approach rooted in my commitment to social justice and community healing. My unique lived experience as a queer, Latinx, disabled person informs all aspects of my clinical work. I am most passionate about working with other folks from similarly marginalized populations to increase their quality of life and well-being.
