Hello, my name is Alejandra, and welcome to my counselor page. It is an unavoidable fact in life that all of us will experience pain, grief, loss, struggle, and heartache. No one should have to carry such heavy things alone. You are reading these words on my page because you realize you are no longer able to carry it all by yourself. What I offer is a shoulder to help lighten the load as well as guidance and care to help you find a new way forward. I believe that when we work together, combining our individual wisdom and experience, we can create a healthier and more joyful life for you. I also believe that some of the greatest mental health struggles in our life are due to systems that oppress and belittle us. Though neither you nor I can single handedly uproot those systems, I will imagine and fight together with you to create freedom and safety for you and for our world.
The people that I love to work with the most and that I have the most support to offer are those who have relational trauma (i.e. childhood and intimate partner abuse survivors, survivors of sexual abuse and assault, those with religious trauma), those who are processing loss and grief, those who struggle to love their bodies, and those who need support as they navigate disability (namely neurodivergence and chronic health conditions, and the anxiety, depression, and identity crisis that can occur because of these conditions). I am also able to offer support for depression, anxiety, life transitions, and relational struggles. I am not only professionally trained to support you in each of these areas, I also have personal life experience in these areas, being myself a survivor of abuse, experiencing early-life loss, and being neurodivergent to name a few things.
I work with adults, and welcome any and all who want my support no matter your sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation or spiritual practice, or ability. I look forward to getting to know you and to helping you take steps towards a freer and fuller life.
