I believe in the power and necessity of queer and trans people as a vital part of our community’s ecosystem, worthy of celebration and reverence. Through collaboration together, we’ll work to identify your strengths and build the right environment for you to grow and thrive. 
 
I’m a queer/ genderqueer, Boricua decendent (Puerto Rican/  Taino), born and raised in mainland US in Washington D.C. (unceded Piscataway, Pamunkey, the Nentego (Nanichoke), Mattaponi, Chickahominy, Monacan, and Powhatan land). I hold a master’s degree in social work from NYU, with a focus in sexuality and gender, and have been privileged to support LGBTQ+ adults and youth for over a decade through trauma-informed and harm-reduction care practices, including formal training in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I’m also on a personal growth journey of anti-racism and neurodiversity affirming care. I’m trained as a Horticultural Therapist through the NY Botanical Gardens, and bring the lessons of nature into my psychotherapeutic work. 
 
It’s with care and intention that I continue to work and receive training to better serve my community.
