I am a bi-lingual (English-Spanish) eco-therapist, life-coach, trauma-sensitive yoga teacher, non-profit consultant and adjunct faculty member at Boston University School of Social Work. I have a Masters in Social Work and a Masters in Public Health from Boston University. I have extensive experience working with survivors of violence and abuse, social justice activists, college students, academics, people of color, LGBQT people, immigrants and refugees, people who work in the sex industry, and people in BDSM & polyamorous communities. As a queer Latina working in a field where there are few therapists of color and fewer queer therapists of color, it is my mission to provide socially and politically conscious, trauma-informed, therapy to people of color (PoC) and queer & trans people of color (QTPoC).
