Hi, I’m Nic (they/she). I’m a therapist who works best in the deep end, with people and relationships navigating complexity, intensity, and transformation. Whether it’s high-conflict couples on the verge of relational change or separation, individuals carrying complex trauma, or families facing deep ruptures, I bring curiosity, steadiness, and a commitment to building connection where it feels most difficult.

 

My work is grounded in Relational-Cultural Therapy, with a strong focus on attachment and an extensive use of Internal Family Systems (IFS). This means we explore not only the stories you tell yourself and others, but also the parts of you that hold pain, hope, and the capacity for change. I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship, not as the expert “fixing” you, but as a partner in navigating the terrain together.

 

With my background as a first/third-generation Mexican-American and Indigenous person, a queer and neurodivergent therapist, and someone who has sat on both sides of the therapy room, I understand that healing happens in the context of both personal history and systemic forces. My lens is always anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and sex-positive, and I aim to help clients see themselves not as “broken,” but as shaped by the systems and relationships around them, and ready to reshape into something more authentic and true.
