Hi, I’m Edgar (they/them)
I am passionate about therapy because I know what it feels like to live between worlds—to carry sensitivity as both a gift and a burden, and to move through life without a clear mold to fit into.
As a queer, nonbinary, Latinx, and Indigenous (Wixárika) artist-therapist, my own healing emerged through reclaiming my body, voice, and imagination. That journey fuels me. Supporting multi-hyphenates, outsiders, witches, creatives, and highly sensitive people is not just my passion; it’s my calling.
This work energizes me because when people who have been dismissed or misunderstood finally feel seen, entire worlds open.
How my practice and passion emerged
I understand what it’s like to feel out of place, uncertain about your next step, or pressured to shrink just to get by. I spent years navigating that sense of “otherness” alone, trying to piece together meaning and direction without a map. I don’t want others to go through that kind of isolation.
You are my people—the visionaries, the weirdos, the ones who don’t fit neatly into any category. You deserve support that respects your full range of identities, passions, and experiences. You deserve to feel like you have someone on your side who will listen and understand the complexity of your experience while also holding space for your own inner wisdom and intuition to grow.
How I help
I help you return to yourself. Supporting you in gaining deeper clarity, emotional resilience, and the embodied confidence to live your life authentically. Together we work to heal past pain, regulate a sensitive nervous system, integrate spiritual or creative awakenings, and build lives that reflect your purpose(s). My goal is that you leave therapy feeling more grounded, more connected to your inner wisdom, and more able to pursue the magic you’re here to make in the world.
I offer support for multi-hyphenates, artists, witches, and people living outside the norm in healing past pain, understanding themselves more deeply, and living proudly and authentically. My integrative approach weaves therapeutic, creative, and spiritual frameworks to support deep transformation. My work draws from somatic psychotherapy, parts work (IFS-informed), attachment and relational therapy, mindfulness, creative expression, and—when desired—ritual and spiritual integration. This is a space where your complexity is welcome and your whole self is honored.
