About Me
You're feeling overwhelmed. You're carrying generational trauma. You have family of origin trauma to unpack. Your emotional reactions feel reactive and uncontrollable. Defenses feel high. Stress has left you in a state of “survival mode” and you are wanting to slow down & cope. I often work with clients who have experiences with Complex Trauma (C-PTSD). I support you in understanding your reactions and exploring coping strategies that feel more supportive to you now and as you grow and adapt. I focus on trauma, abuse, dysfunctional relationship patterns, identity, self-worth, anxiety, depression, body-image and burnout.
My style is relational, showing up to collaboratively create a connection that is full of trust & authenticity. I bring humor & radical compassion. My approach is strength based, knowing that you inherently hold wisdom and the capacity for growth & healing. I am client-centered, centering you and your goals & autonomy. I'm biracial, Latina and liberationist.
It's brave of you to seek support. You deserve a space to be truly heard and express your pain, anger, worry and sadness. Together, we can explore curiosity towards more capacity for clarity, joy and ease. I often work with those who identify as Latine/x, People of Color, multicultural &/or Queer. Reach out for a consultation meeting to discuss more!
