Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call. We'll have a 20-minute conversation where you can tell me what's bringing you to therapy and ask me any questions you have about the process.

I have a unique educational background combining law and mental health counseling. I know what it's like to be a high achiever who has it all figured out on the outside and struggles internally. I bring a systems lens to therapy and a comfort with complexity and direct yet compassionate communication. My nature-based therapy approach encompasses our need for connection to larger systems as essential for our wellbeing. I bring a decolonial lens and an openness to diverse ways of living. My cultural experience as a member of the Puerto Rican diaspora in an interracial marriage also informs my work. My practice is a welcoming space for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Feel free to contact me anytime via our contact page or email or by scheduling a consultation call here. I aim to respond quickly—usually within two business days.

My rate is $200 per session.

I have a limited number of sliding scale spots available. Please inquire during consultation.

People describe me as warm, playful, down to earth. I will make an effort to get to know you and offer structure as needed. I invite feedback and honesty. It is important to me that the work feels helpful to you. The therapeutic relationship is consistently the number one indicator of success in therapy.

We will meet weekly, especially at the beginning of the relationship. Weekly sessions support the strengthening of the therapeutic alliance and better outcomes. If this frequency does not work for you, we can discuss during a consultation call.

I do not accept insurance but can offer a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement. This varies depending on insurance providers and plans. This will be something for you to explore with your particular provider.

Great question! Nature-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that incorporates the natural world as part of the healing process. It is based on the assumptions that our relationship to the more-than-human world is crucial to our wellbeing. Rather than confining sessions to an office, we can bring the work outside — into parks, trails, and open spaces. Research shows that time in nature reduces cortisol, lowers anxiety, and supports emotional regulation. For many people, being outdoors makes it easier to access feelings, gain perspective, and reconnect with themselves.

Walk-and-talk therapy is exactly what it sounds like: a therapy session that takes place while walking outdoors rather than sitting in an office. Sessions are held in natural settings in the Los Angeles area (primarily Bronson Canyon and Griffith Park). Movement can reduce self-consciousness, loosen defenses, and make difficult conversations feel more natural. It's a great option for people who feel restless in traditional settings or who simply do better when they're moving.

Transpersonal wilderness therapy combines clinical mental health counseling with contemplative practice and direct experience in nature. It's rooted in the idea that healing isn't just psychological — it's also spiritual, ecological, and relational. This approach, which I studied at Naropa University, goes beyond symptom relief to explore meaning, identity, and your relationship with something larger than yourself.

Yes. My practice is explicitly queer-affirming. I believe every person deserves a therapeutic space where their full identity is not just tolerated but genuinely welcomed. I work with LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating identity, relationships, family, and everything in between without having to explain or justify who they are.

¡Aquí se habla español de verdad! El español es mi primer idioma. Tengo experiencia trabajando con familias e individuos de diferentes países en Latinoamérica y para mí es un placer servir a mi comunidad hispanohablante. I absolutely welcome your Spanglish, too!

Yes. I work with clients navigating the complexity of living between cultures — first and second generation experiences, code-switching, family expectations, and the particular kind of disconnection that can come from not fully belonging anywhere. This is terrain I know personally and professionally.

No! Mindfulness-based therapy draws on contemplative practices — attention, presence, nonjudgmental awareness — as tools for understanding and shifting our inner experience. It doesn't require any prior meditation experience. In practice it might mean slowing down to notice what's actually happening inside you, rather than just talking about it.

Somatic therapy is an approach that brings the body into the therapeutic conversation. Rather than working only with thoughts and narrative (where anxiety lives and thrives) somatic work pays attention to what the body is doing — tension, breath, posture, sensation — as a source of information about our emotional and psychological state. The body often holds what the mind hasn't yet processed.
