As a queer, genderqueer, Latinx therapist, I understand the challenges in finding affirming and inclusive support and the transformative effects of collaborative therapy. I am a relational therapist, which means I believe the most powerful aspect of therapy lies within relationships. Healing and growth happen in the presence of safety and in truly being seen and understood.

I value bringing my whole self into our work together and pride myself on being real. I will not just nod and ask, “How does that make you feel?” I will roll up my sleeves and join you in your exploration and process and help shine a light on the things that matter to you. I have a playful side that helps me connect with the inner child within us all. I see our work together as an adventure that we are co-creating.

In my free time, I enjoy being outside, hanging out with family and friends, yoga, movies, social justice and activism, starting and never finishing books, and hiking the greenbelt with my wife and our pups. I’m an ENFJ and Enneagram Type 2.
