I’m a queer Latina psychotherapist from Southern California living in the Catskills, NY, offering virtual therapy statewide. With more than 10 years of experience, I believe that building the therapeutic relationship marks the beginning of the healing process. I use a warm, empathic, collaborative, and non-judgmental style. I apply a lens that is affirming, trauma-informed, sex-positive, anti-oppressive, and body-positive. Together we will explore the intersectionalities of your life and gain a greater understanding of your experience in the world.

I’m committed to creating a space that feels comforting, safe, exploratory and authentic. It’s important to me that I help you build a better connection to yourself. This might look like examining your inner critic, strengthening your self-worth, or actualizing your sense of self. Using EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, relational therapy, and attachment-based science, I specialize in helping you to process difficult life experiences that have led you to where you are today. We will explore the various patterns that exist in your life while also understanding their origin stories. As partners in therapy, we will explore your resilience and also uncover what activates uncomfortable (and sometimes intolerable) feelings. I’m interested in putting together the puzzle pieces of your life and seeing what it means when we assemble them.

In addition to curious and creative exploration, we will also develop personalized coping tools that give you a greater sense of confidence in yourself. Together we will practice acceptance while also questioning the areas of your life that no longer work for you. I want to help facilitate a deeper connection with yourself.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds. Your individualized story is important to me.
