I offer individual therapy based on social justice, pro-LGBTQIA+, sex/kink/polyamorous-positive, and Covid-conscious values. I am most passionate about working with clients on sexuality, gender, interpersonal relationships, self-image/esteem, life goals, work stress, life transitions, burnout, spirituality, and harm caused by systemic oppression/marginalization. I am a chronically ill, queer, cisgender, Puerto Rican/Boricua (Latine) woman in my 40s. I was fortunate enough to work at Callen-Lorde–a world-leading LGBTQIA+ community health center–for several years as a sexual health educator and psychotherapist. I am also a member of Manhattan Alternative, a nationwide directory and supportive online community of queer, trans, kink, and non-monogamous identifying and affirming providers. I do not consider myself an expert in any identity or experience other than my own, and I continuously aim to learn and grow my knowledge and competency in all areas. I firmly believe that while those of us in the LGBTQIA+ community have many similar interests and struggles and need to be in solidarity with each other, we are not a monolith and should be understood and cared for as the individual people we are and the unique needs we have. This is especially true for those of us with intersecting marginalized identities.
