As a bilingual, Puerto Rican, therapist in training, my goal is to create a space where the diversity of experiences, be they individual or relational, can be explored with compassion and curiosity. As a student clinician, my approach and therapeutic style are constantly evolving, always searching for new ways to help clients reach their most authentic selves – while continuously fomenting a working relationship that positions the client as an equal with an innate skill set capable of change.
I believe that we are an amalgam of our lived experiences and that it’s those lived experiences that provide us with the frameworks which help us navigate our lives.Sometimes, our lived experiences provide us with the tools to survive but not necessarily to live in our most authentic truth. This could manifest as a disconnection between you and others as well as disconnection with yourself. If any of this resonates with you and you’d like to learn new lifelong skills to transform your life and your relationships, I invite you to take this first step towards change. I currently work with couples (Monogamous & Ethically Non-Monogamous Relationships), LGBTQIA+ Folx, Sexual & Gender identity issues, Shame & Trauma, Substance Use, and cultural topics. I look forward to hearing more about your story!
I am a graduate student at the University of Denver, currently working towards obtaining my master’s degree in International Disaster Psychology: Trauma and Global Mental Health. My bachelor’s degree is from the Universidad de Puerto Rico en Cayey in Psychology and Community Mental Health. As a professional with a formal mental health education from Latinx and American institutions, I am able to integrate both to create a unique approach to therapeutic spaces.
