Hello and Welcome! I go by Dr. J and I am part of the clinical team at the Aguirre Center for Inclusive Psychotherapy. I seek to empower my clients by exploring how dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression have shaped their lives and/or resulted in marginalization, discrimination, and trauma. I greatly enjoy working with individuals who hold minoritized identities, particularly individuals and couples/polycules from the Q+BIPOC and Neurodivergent communities. Additionally, I enjoy working with athletes, and as a former collegiate athlete, I understand the unique internal and external pressures that athletes often face.My clinical work is rooted in anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming, and culturally-responsive practices, which I believe requires taking action and addressing discrimination and oppression at every level. I also work from a neurodiversity/neurodivergent-affirming lens, and believe that our brains all function differently and different does not equate to bad.I strive to always meet my clients where they are in their various journeys and building a relationship is my number one priority. Therapy is a place where you should feel heard, valued, and respected and my goal is to provide that space. Using a strength-based, trauma-informed approach, we will charter a path towards healing.
