About me
Trauma, grief, and disconnection may shape us, but they don’t define us. We can free ourselves from the shame and guilt we’ve inherited by asking for and accepting care from our community, because healing happens when we are in connection with others. I partner with folks, exploring how past experiences impact their well-being and relationship dynamics to find their bespoke path toward healing. Together, we’ll untangle patterns rooted in pain, rebuild trust, and foster self-compassion. Therapy is a space to unburden yourself and create a life of deeper meaning and connection. Let’s begin your healing journey together.
Being queer and Puerto Rican has shaped my understanding of the nuanced journey of identity development. I work with folks of all backgrounds and identities, and I specialize in the intersection between trauma/chronic stress and physical health, reproductive and hormone problems, self-esteem and body image issues, queer folks, and first-gen Americans.
I strive to create a warm, reflective, and supportive space where authenticity is practiced. Laughter and playfulness are some of the ways I like to build a connection with clients! Whatever brings you to therapy is reason enough, and I’m honored to hear your story. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit!
