Meet Roxy
(She/her/hers)
Roxy does not believe any individual is a blank canvas. Roxy believes we are all a work of art in progress and that we have all been influenced by the brush sizes, brush shapes, and colors the canvas has experienced. No one lives in a vacuum. Therefore, Roxy believes it can be helpful for clients to know some background information about their therapist. A client may find they connect with Roxy due to components of their shared identities or shared lived expeirences and that’s beautiful.
Roxy identifies as a Peruvian-American queer therapist who is reconnecting with her indigenous Quechua roots. Roxy was born in Queens, New York and moved to Apex, North Carolina when she was eight years old. Roxy has the lived experience of growing up in the south as a brown Latina which can come with its own challenges. She attended undergraduate school at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro in 2011 and went on to graduate from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Social Work in 2016.
In her free time Roxy can sometimes be a couch potato who loves to watch YouTube, documentaries, cartoons, scary movies, and comedies. Roxy also enjoys being out in nature, playing with and loving on her three fur babies, and spending time with friends and family. Roxy loves listening to all kinds of music from hip hop to punk rock to reggaeton, going to concerts, practicing yoga, traveling, trying new restaurants, and engaging in spiritual practices such as using oracle decks, tarot, alter building, and candle workings.
