About My Clients
Maybe you aren’t sure which direction you would like to go, or you are trying to just keep your head above water during a difficult time? I am here to provide the support you seek at any stage in your journey. I believe that all clients have their strengths and are resilient. Part of my role is to encourage you to see your strengths as well. Maybe that doesn't come easy to you and that is okay! Let's practice together.
My Background and Approach
I am client-centered in my therapeutic style, which means that I believe therapy goals should be primarily directed by you. I pride myself on facilitating a collaborative therapeutic environment. I am here to travel alongside you, witness your story, and ask questions along the way in assistance to your journey. My clients describe me as compassionate, encouraging, motivating, and kind-hearted. My aim is to get to know you and learn how to best support you, as no two clients are the same in what they need.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have worked with clients across the country ranging in age from young adults (18+) to older adults, with various experiences, and in different stages of their lives. I bring specialized experience working with people with physical disabilities and lifelong health conditions such as MD, SCI, and MS (including those who are newly diagnosed). These professional experiences combined with my passion for learning inspires me to stay informed on research and treatment options for my clients as well as emerging issues at the intersection of healthcare and mental health such as coping with the effects of Long-COVID, provider burnout/compassion fatigue, and pandemic-related medical trauma. I am a transgender and queer identified Latinx originally from the northern central coast of California. I moved to Seattle in 2016 for graduate school and decided to make it my permanent home after falling in love with the area.
