I believe that each session should be rooted in empathy, compassion, and inclusivity, creating a safe and judgment-free space where we can explore together. Explore what, you might ask? Many people seek therapy because something in their life isn’t working, or because challenging emotions or past experiences are holding them back. This is especially true for many queer youth and adults alike. My goal is to walk alongside clients as we work collaboratively to process the past, deepen self-understanding, cultivate mindfulness, and build the confidence to make choices that align with their values and goals.

I recently graduated from the Jane Addams College of Social Work master’s program at the University of Illinois Chicago and am now a part-time therapist at Ashé Counseling, where I continue working toward obtaining my clinical license. My work is grounded in a holistic, client-centered approach that honors the full complexity of each individual’s lived experience.

As a queer, non-binary, mixed-Latinx, first-generation clinician, I understand the importance of representation and the impact of navigating systems that were not designed with intersectionality in mind. When we enter a therapeutic relationship with someone who truly sees us, that connection can become a powerful source of healing and a foundation for lasting, positive change. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, self-esteem, interpersonal challenges, or life transitions, I am here to support and advocate for you throughout your growth journey.

As passionate as I am about this work, I am equally committed to maintaining balance in my personal life. For me, self-care includes reading Tarot, exploring the city, spending time with loved ones, creative writing, dancing to house and techno, gaming, reading fantasy novels, engaging in my own therapy, and practicing meditation...or sometimes simply allowing myself to rest!
