Pre-Licensed Professional
Last Updated 30+ days ago

I am a therapist-in-training providing $25 therapy under the supervision of Jessenia until May 2025.

I believe in the power of understanding one’s own experiences as a foundation for growth. I see my role not as a problem solver but as a facilitator of exploration and self-discovery. My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the connection between physical and mental health, recognizing that both aspects are integral to overall well-being.

Having navigated my own journey of understanding and working with children in the foster care system, I have learned the profound impact of early attachment experiences on present relationships.

I bring a compassionate understanding to my work and am committed to integrating this understanding into my therapeutic approach.

I lead with curiosity, seeking to understand how identity intersects with experiences and influences paths. My diverse identities and values shape my approach, fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding.

Through collaboration and empathy, I aim to support clients in integrating their identities into their care, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives. I am committed to providing a safe space where individuals can explore, heal, and thrive.
