I embrace questions of identity and belonging, especially around culture and sexuality. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Spanglish. Prior to TCP, I have worked with survivors of domestic violence and within the immigrant community in Philadelphia in case management and organizing work. I believe that the personal is political and that there is much work to be done to provide access to therapy that is affordable, honoring a person’s culture, and in a person’s preferred language.
My work as a therapist and social worker focuses on a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic lens. I incorporate harm-reduction, trauma-informed care, and relationship-building into my practice. I also embrace dream work as a form of understanding our unconscious and ancestral parts. I am a Mexican-American, queer, temporarily able-bodied, cisgender woman.
Please reach out to me through the Therapy Center of Philadelphia to start our work together.
