I'm a clinical psychologist and a writer. I've built my career around women's whole health, relationships, and trauma. I believe writing and art are therapeutic exercises and ways to transmit emotion, information, and connection.

I'm also a feminist, and I live that part of me through radical tenderness. I believe in recovering affection, the expansive capacity to love, and agency. I believe in relearning how to satisfy physical and emotional hunger. Through therapy and my writing, I try to create spaces of accompaniment where women can reconnect with pleasure, food, and love.

I'm also drawn to the work of reconnecting with and validating women's rightful rage. Learning to place anger where it belongs, and to release the voice that makes us blame ourselves for the violence we've lived through. It's part of assuming ourselves capable again of leaving the places where we felt pain, fear, and helplessness.

Writing is where I think out loud, and where the work of the consulting room reaches further than a single session can. It's also a way to give vulnerability as a gift, and to show the imperfect parts of life that, when shared, let other people feel safe in their own vulnerability.

I work and write in both English and Spanish.
