Hi there! My ideal clients are those interested in a therapist who thinks outside the box, have an openness to alternative practices, and are in touch with their sensitivities. I gravitate towards those rebellious at heart and because of my various life and work experiences hold a soft spot for underserved and vulnerable communities. Some of those groups include immigrant families, families impacted by incarceration, and those included in the LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and Spanish speaking communities. I am great a support for those looking to learn nervous system support for trauma, anxiety, OCD, or managing addiction.
We would be a great fit if you are looking for an exposure therapist to work on anxiety/OCD, interested in inner child work, or needing nervous system support. I value spirituality, practice energetic hygiene, and believe in doing ongoing inner personal work. I love working with all ages and especially with kids and teens.
The most important thing about therapy is that you have a connection with your therapist. Call, text, or email to setup a free consultation to see if we're a good fit. Please note you might be able to get reimbursed for out-of-network therapy! Check here: mentaya.co/b/C6BSKoEYktzgrp1d6tS5

Mindfulness and meditation is something I practice on a regular basis and is something I am very passionate about sharing with my clients. I think it is one of the most profound and gentle ways to make long lasting sustainable changes in one's life. It is through this modality we can make space for a healthy relationship with ourselves.
