Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Location: Denver, CO

Education:University of Northern Colorado, MA Clinical Mental Health Counseling

Hello! I specialize in adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, transitional difficulties, identity formation, and other issues. As a multicultural woman, I care deeply about promoting diversity and bringing awareness into how oppressive systems can affect our mental health. I align myself to support communities continuing to fight for equity across systems. I help clients find fulfillment in confidence, decision-making, and relationships. I also hope to help you connect to a broader sense of self-awareness, purpose, meaning, and understanding of what being a human means to you.

If you are struggling with shame, self-criticism, self-doubt, or low self-esteem, I am here to help. I will aim to create a space where curiosity, authenticity, patience, and exploration are encouraged. I am here to help you feel confident with yourself in order for you to live a life that feels rich, full, and meaningful. I aim to create a safe space to explore an array of different obstacles within the human experience to leave clients feeling empowered and heard.

 

I may not always have immediate availability. If so, we’ll respond right away with some alternative therapists specialized to your needs!

A little more about me:

I was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Florida. I moved to Colorado to pursue my professional and educational dreams and ended up loving the lifestyle here. I value self-expression, creativity, adventure, social connection, growth, and change. I embrace the small moments in life, such as the smell of freshly made banana bread, dancing like no one is watching, feeling the sun on my face, going for a sunset walk, watering my garden, or spending quality time with my loved ones. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors, camping, skiing, playing with my dog, or practicing yoga. I am passionate about trying new things and consider myself a lifelong learner.
