My Ideal Client

I’m experienced working with clients who are queer, gender expansive, kinky, non-monogamous, fat/bigger bodied, and BIPOC. I tend to support those who want to address sexual concerns, improve their relationship(s), explore non-monogamy, process racial trauma & racial identity, and/or work through relational trauma. I want to support you in having space to feel the hard emotions, better understand your needs, and build supportive relationships.

My Approach to Helping

I approach therapy holistically & aim to help you connect with your body and emotions so that you can feel more at ease. I will highlight your strengths and inner resources that can help you thrive, while also gently challenging you when you’re stuck in unhelpful patterns. I will work to center your needs, capacity, and feedback so that therapy feels supportive to you. My goal in therapy is to help you access a space of authenticity and connection to yourself, your partner(s), and your communities. I work from an ecosystemic and relational lens; this means that I acknowledge the ways we are in connection with each other and the spaces we occupy, knowing our daily life can be impacted by larger systems such as capitalism and white supremacy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I felt inspired to do this work because of my lived experience. I identify as a bi-racial (Mexican American), second generation, Latinx, queer, gender fluid, kinky person who currently exists in a mid-size body. While these identities are a just fraction of who I am, it’s important to me to share them because they have shaped how I navigate the world. As a person with intersectional identities, I have experienced having to hide parts of myself in order to survive. I have also been in spaces with people who embraced me and made me feel cared for, loved, and able to be true to my authentic self. Because of these experiences, I approach therapy as a way to meet people where they are in their lives and work together collaboratively, so people can live as their most authentic selves. Life can bring us uncertainty and challenges; as a therapist, I believe people deserve to express themselves and be heard in an open, curious, and non-judgmental space.

Specialties

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    I love working with couples & partnerships! Relationships are such a central part of our lives as humans. When we're experiencing relationship challenges, it can cause so much distress. My hope is to help you & your partner(s) have a more fulfilling & authentic relationship. Whether you want to explore communication challenges, opening up a relationship or navigating non-monogamy, sexual concerns in your relationship, the impacts of trauma, or mixed race relationship dynamics, I'm here for you!

  • Sexual Problems External link

    Many people struggle with something related to sexuality, but don't have anywhere to get support around these concerns. You deserve a space where talking about your sexuality and sexual concerns is welcome! I'm here to help you with sexual concerns like mismatched desire in your relationship, sexual trauma, low sexual desire, sexual identity exploration, kink exploration, or sexual anxiety. I bring a warm, informed, and sex positive presence to these conversations.

  • Racial Identity External link

    As a bi-racial (Mexican American), second generation, & Latinx person, I understand how complex & nuanced racial identity can be. I'd love to support you in exploring your racial identity, processing the impacts of systemic racial oppression, working through inter-generational trauma, or mixed race relationship dynamics.
