Almost 6 years into my career, I provide bilingual counseling services to people of diverse backgrounds as they seek to heal from experiences of trauma, sexual violence and domestic violence. I provide inclusive therapy and through the lense of decolonizing counseling practices. In my counseling spaces, I make efforts to disrupt harmful beliefs and create room to heal from the impact of systemic violence and injustices. 

Passions of mine include supporting first and second generation individuals that carry the weight of intergenerational traumas, cultural + identity conflicts, and have been harmed by marginalization. Another passion is supporting recent immigrants to process traumas from their home countries and new ones after arriving in the US. 

In our community, there are negative beliefs about counseling and fear “el que va decir la gente'' if word got out they were going to counseling. But needing and seeking out counseling is not admitting that someone is crazy or something to be ashamed of. It’s a recognition that you do not have to figure it all out alone. That there are ways to take back control of your life. My goal is to collaborate with clients to reclaim their lives through talk and connection along with finding therapy approaches that complement the ancestral ways of healing. 

Counseling is not the cure to everything. Doing the work, in and outside of sessions, can be hard. And still, many clients tell me they wish they would have started counseling sooner. Because after each session they feel better. They feel lighter. And free themselves of the weight on their backs they thought was theirs to hold alone. You deserve this too.
