About
Who I Am:
I am a proud daughter of Mexican immigrants who laid down roots for our family in southern California. I am also a wife, a sister, a very proud tia and caretaker to a boston terrier who tends to run the household.
I enjoy trying new restaurants, supporting local talent including visual art, music and dance along with the open spaces at Balboa Park and Del Mar dog beach. Running is one of the ways in which I clear my mind and connect with my body. When I’m not outside, I am most likely either reading or hooked into a short series featuring a whole lot of character development and growth.
Sol & Ser:
In thinking of a name for my therapy practice, I wanted to capture two main things: culture and growth.
Being solar powered myself- meaning I go up with the sun and down with the moon, I enjoyed the play on words of Sol (sun in Spanish) and also, well, soul. You know- the thing that brings us life.
Ser (Spanish for ‘being’) came to be while brainstorming words that captured the human-ness experience of existing and having the privilege to grow. Thus, Sol & Ser was born.
Bienvenidos a todos, I’m glad you’re here.
My Goal in Therapy
*
My Goal in Therapy *
My intention is to create a space for you in which you feel safe to be curious and ready to try something different. In time, we’ll begin to get to know all parts of you including the versions that have been kept at arm’s length distance. All are welcome.
Through the courage and confidence that we build up together, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you. You can then become your most powerful self advocate, by ensuring that your needs and wants are in alignment with who you are. In gaining this deeper appreciation for you, you can then tolerate a wider range of emotion and handle distress with ease rather than panic. I believe that everyone has the ability to see their worth, their value and lean into that goodness.
My goal is to help you honor your story, explore your inner landscape, and move through life with more ease, presence, and wholeness.
