About Me
I began my career as a special educator which led me to working to build and expand children’s mental health. I have served children and their families for over two decades, helping them find some footing and balance in an ever-evolving and confusing world.
I come from an existential foundation that focuses on helping people find meaningful ways to tackle the difficulties they are facing and find purpose and meaning to help them live an authentic life.
As a Chicana, I value the importance of culture and identity as well as the beauty of community. Decolonizing perspectives and trauma-informed care are how I create inclusive and safe spaces for clients to share and heal. I meet clients where they are and embrace their strengths and histories to honor and support them. I believe our current behavioral health and mental health systems in the United States need to be rebuilt to not only become authentically inclusive, but to also validate the systemic racism, mysogyny and classist that these systems are built upon.
