This option is best for those seeking to increase connection, experience side-by-side healing with their loved one(s), and/or heal from betrayal. I use a combination of narrative therapy, Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO), and integrative sex therapy.
In individual therapy I serve as a trusted companion and collaborator on your path to wellness, amplifying the inherent strength and agency you already hold. I use a holistic approach that integrates realms of body, mind, and spirit along with my formal training in clinical counseling to offer tailored support to help you tap into the medicine within you and within your community.
At Dame Mas CPC, I am dedicated to helping individuals discover and harness their inner strength and empowerment. Grounded in curiosity and rooted in connection, I believe that exploring and embracing one’s sexuality—whether solo or with partners—can be a transformative journey toward self-empowerment and fulfillment.
I value pleasure as an essential part of this process, recognizing that it can open doors to deeper understanding and joy. My mission is to serve as a supportive ally, guiding seekers to access their inner resources while cultivating meaningful connections with themselves and others. Together, we will navigate this journey with curiosity, honoring each person's unique path toward healing and growth.
Like many of you, I carry a vibrant life story filled with love, betrayal, healing, failure, and transformation. My journey has shaped me into the person I am today, and I draw upon this rich tapestry of experiences—along with a blend of body-mind-spirit integration and systemic approaches—to support you in accessing your inner healer.
My lived experience extends beyond my own; it encompasses the transformations I’ve witnessed in the lives of my family and friends during their ups and downs. Born and raised in Northern Virginia, I embrace my identity as a half Salvadoran and half Bolivian individual, raised by two young parents alongside the loving embrace of my grandparents, tías, tíos, cousins, and four amazing siblings. As the eldest daughter and granddaughter on both sides, I’ve felt the duality of this role—a blessing and a curse that has deeply influenced my perspective on family and connection.
In our work together, I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where we can explore your unique narrative, honoring the complexities of your journey. I believe in the power of curiosity, pleasure, and connection as vital elements in the healing process.

The journey of healing and self-discovery is unique to each person, and at Dame Mas CPC, we honor that individuality. The length of time it takes to see results from counseling sessions varies depending on the individual or group and the complexities of the issues being explored. Some may experience shifts and improvements after just a few sessions, while others may find deeper insights emerge over a more extended period.
Rather than focusing on time limits or a specific timeline, our approach prioritizes the quality of your experience and the authenticity of your journey. We believe that true healing unfolds at its own pace, and it's essential to cultivate a space where you can explore and grow without the pressure of immediate results.
If you’re looking for reassurance about the process, it's perfectly normal to desire a sense of progress. Together, we’ll navigate your path, celebrating each step you take toward greater self-awareness and connection.
