What would it look like to work with me?
Life can be different. Change is possible. I believe in helping you on your journey of self-understanding and healthy relationships. I am a first-generation Latino with white privilege. I grew up in a low-socioeconomic neighborhood. I received my masterās degree from George Fox University in marriage, couple and family counseling. I use an attachment-based approach (Emotionally Focused Therapy) that emphasizes change occurring in the therapy room with an exploration of core emotions at the root. I also use mindfulness as a way to gain awareness into the present moment. I have 4.5 years of experience in higher education helping young adults navigate racial/ethnic identities and life transitions. You can expect me to show up as the unique me because I value you bringing your unique self.
