Meet Milka

I have specialized training in the treatment of OCD and related disorders, including social anxiety, specific phobias, and health anxiety. I also provide culturally-responsive and affirming therapy to multiethnic, Latinx, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities. Therapy is a safe space that can bring about self-discovery and healing. I take an inclusive approach in my work, where I understand how intersections of culture, sexuality, gender, spirituality, family, environment, and relationships shape our identity and how we experience the world. In therapy, you have a space to let your guard down and explore how various factors at play affect your mental health. You will learn the skills necessary to embrace the full range of your thoughts and emotions, and also incorporate changes that align with your values. Additionally, I have an interest in working with mental health practitioners seeking their own therapy. I look forward to helping you integrate all aspects of who you are into a healthy whole.

I understand how intersections of culture, sexuality, gender, spirituality, family, environment, and relationships shape our identity and how we experience the world.
