I'm an English and Spanish-speaking Queer Mexican immigrant who grew up in the South East (including the Deep South) that calls the mountains of North Carolina home. I constantly find myself both navigating and reveling in the delicate balance between life's breathtaking beauty and challenges. I mean, it’s kind of a dumpster fire out here sometimes, amiright?! However, there is so. much. sweetness. I also believe that my liberation is bound with yours. I’m trying to get free, how about you?

Having grown up in the South East with the identities I hold, I know what it's like to navigate relationships, friend groups, schools, jobs, etc., and feel like you have to prove yourself and give twice as much. I also know how feeling like "too much" here but "not enough" there can cause an internal spiral of inadequacy, confusion, guilt, and shame, leading to self-doubt and decisions that don't serve you. Gah! It's exhausting! Luckily, through my own self-work and therapy, I've re-learned to trust myself and radically love myself. I work with people who want to explore and maybe even deconstruct some of the "rules" society has forced on us. Some rules might fit, and some might feel limiting, if not straight-up oppressive.
