Pre-Licensed Professional

You're feeling overwhelmed. You're carrying generational trauma. Your emotional reactions cause an impact. Your defenses feel high. Stress feels constant and you are seeking to slow down and cope.

I often work with clients who have experiences with complex trauma (CPTSD). I support you in understanding your reactions, and exploring coping strategies that feel more supportive to you now and in the future. Together, we can bring curiosity towards parts of you, understand how trauma can have an impact, and explore new ways to build more capacity for ease, laughter and connection.

I focus on trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, PTSD, burnout, dysfunctional relationship patterns, identity, self-worth and body-image.

My style is relational, showing up to collaboratively create a connection that is full of trust and authenticity. I bring humor and radical compassion. My approach is strength-based, knowing that you inherently hold wisdom and the capacity for growth and healing. I am client-centered, treating you with respect, unconditional positive regard and exploring your values, culture and goals.

I often work with those who identify as Latinx, POC, multicultural and/or Queer.
