They/Them
I am a 26 year old, queer, non-binary, neurodivergent, white passing hispanic person.
LMHC - Masters degree clinical mental health counseling

Clinical Mental Health Counseling, queer, fat, kink, poly, trans, affirming.
I have worked with many transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, and agender individuals in my practice
I believe it is integral in healing spaces that gender inclusive language is used not just with queer clients but also with cishet clients in order to normalize that this space for all.
I have worked with queer, multi-household, polyamorous, and intergenerational households. I have worked with queer parents, children of queer parents, parents and children of polyamorous arrangements, and mixed families.
I believe that offering supportive and affirming services to all types of relationship and household structures supports the overall behavioral health outcomes and cultural normalization of these structures.
I am hispanic, though white passing, and have offered services to primarily mixed race clients. As part of my intake orientation to counseling services I recognize and discuss with client's the privilege and power imbalances inherent in the counseling relationship which includes race. I often suggest referrals to clinician's with firsthand experiential knowledge, specialization in, and empathy of POC experiences when this is the client's primary focus, though lack of representation/lack of availability can often limit client's access to the most appropriate care.
I think white (even white passing) people have said enough about racial justice. I will defer to colleagues like jennifer mullan, ijeoma oluo, grace lee boggs, who all have far more important and relevant things to say than me.
I have ADHD and as of yet the source unidentified physical disabilities. I have served many disabled clientele with a focus on accommodations and affirmation. I hope to normalize disability as a unique marginalized identity that everyone will acquire through benefit of longevity. My clientele is primarily composed of neurodivergent or otherwise disabled individuals and my work as a solely telehealth provider hopes to reduce access barriers for all.
I think disability justice is the most benefitted by those who acknowledge that disability justice and accommodations are an always shifting, always evolving conversation and that one size will never fit all.
