Origem Psychotherapy

My therapeutic lens lies within the humanistic foundation, with radical compassion, cultural-sensitivity, and trauma-informed care. I believe healing and growth happen as we deconstruct the unhelpful parts of your story, connecting to its many origins, and tending to the reoccurring wounds, so you that you can begin to live as your most authentic self.  My intersectional identities are immigrant, woman, lesbian, mother, Latine, and neurodivergent. I find it valuable to have all parts of our identities integrated into the work that we do together, while serving as a witness and a mirroring presence to your own inner-journey. Psychotherapy to me is a form of art; it's fluid, expansive, and it works as a safe container in which individuals are free to reveal all parts of themselves. I have been in the field of mental health for almost 10 years, initially specializing in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to treat OCD, generalized anxiety and other disorders of overcontrol. However, I found my passion in more integrative approaches that seek to depathologize coping mechanisms that were developed as a means to survive and adapt. Other modalities that influence my work today include Somatic Attachment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. At my office space, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Therapy: a life-changing method to enhance treatment, dissolve rigid patterns, and reframe trauma narratives. Following my clinical experience in medical settings that offer this type of treatment, as well as my own experience, I have become a firm believer in the healing power of psychedelics.
