My Ideal Client

If you’ve landed here, something in you knows your relationship can feel different, but you’re not sure how to get there. Many of my clients are queer, BIPOC, or in non-traditional relationships, including polyamory and mixed race partnerships. Together, we explore how identity, past experiences, and unspoken fears shape your relationships, and build more honest, connected ways of relating.

My Approach to Helping

My approach is relational, attachment-based, and trauma-informed. I help you slow things down to understand what’s happening underneath the conflict or disconnection, especially when it feels hard to say what’s really going on. Together, we track the patterns you and your partner get caught in and explore how past experiences, identity, and learned ways of coping shape how you show up in relationships. I integrate nervous system awareness with practical tools for communication, boundaries, and repair. At times, I may interrupt, not to be rude, but to help you feel heard and to better understand what’s being shared. I’ll ask questions that deepen the conversation and gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is to help you feel more seen, understood, and connected, both to yourself and to each other

My Values as a Therapist

I believe we all learn ways to cope and keep ourselves safe with the resources we have at the time. The strategies that once helped you feel safe, heard, or understood may not feel supportive in your life or relationships anymore. In our work, we explore these patterns with curiosity, helping you understand how they show up in your relationships, emotions, and sense of self. I am a Mexican American, queer, kinky therapist and the child of an immigrant parent. These identities shape my clinical lens. I understand what it’s like to hold multiple identities, navigate spaces that don’t fully fit, and carry the weight of explaining yourself, you don’t have to do that here. I support clients in exploring how identity, culture, and power shape attachment and ways of coping, so you can build insight, connection, and more intentional ways of relating.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    You and your partner might be best friends, but lately it feels like you’re two ships passing each other at night. I help you slow things down, understand what’s getting in the way, and build new ways of connecting so you can truly hear and understand each other.

  • Polyamorous and Open Relationships External link

    Maybe you’re thinking about opening your relationship but don’t know how to start without hurting each other. Maybe anxiety shows up when your partner is on a date, or you’re feeling lost in logistics and not making time for each other. I help you navigate these moments together and find ways of relating that feel clear, connected, and aligned.

  • Racial Identity External link

    Balancing different cultures as a BIPOC person can be beautiful, while also feeling confusing and exhausting at times. You may find yourself navigating expectations, code-switching, or questions of belonging. Together, we explore how identity, culture, and systemic experiences show up in your relationships and sense of self.

  • Sexual Problems External link

    Kink and non-monogamy can be meaningful ways to build connection and explore desire. You may also find yourself navigating moments of disconnection, avoiding what’s hard to say, feeling rejected, or pulling away. I help you make sense of these patterns so you can communicate more openly and feel more connected.

  • Cultural and Systemic Oppression External link

    Culture and systemic oppression don’t stay outside; they show up in how we relate. I help you understand how these experiences shape your identity, relationships, and sense of belonging so you can move through your relationships with more awareness and choice.
