I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was a little girl. Having grown up with multiple ethnic backgrounds while living on the border between two countries (Mexico & U.S.A), I’ve struggled to feel like I belong, and have had to work hard to have pride in all of my identities. As such, I have become adept at metaphorically walking between worlds, seeing from multiple perspectives, and creating bridges between people and ideas. I believe I was put on this planet to bridge worlds, to be a guide for those traversing the liminal spaces between dreaming & waking, psychedelic & mundane, ancient & modern, Indigenous & Western.

I would be honored to provide a safe place for you to work towards healing and transformation. Your experience in therapy will be tailored to your needs, as we all experience life differently. As we work together to discover a deeper understanding of you and your patterns, you will be seen, heard, understood and supported. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, fostering an environment where you can be open, honest and vulnerable. This can influence your relationship with self and others, creating change and growth in a positive direction. I work with individuals, children and families on building self-esteem, cultivating effective and loving communication, and healing from trauma. I have extensive experience working with with issues ranging from general anxiety to addiction, to exploring and identifying sexuality and gender and the LGBTQ+ community.
