Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

Did you grow up feeling like you had to take care of everyone else—emotionally or even physically—while your own needs were overlooked? Maybe your parents were distant, unpredictable, or left you feeling unheard and invisible. You might notice patterns of over-explaining, people-pleasing, or feeling anxious in relationships, even when nothing is wrong. Or perhaps you feel numb, disconnected, or weighed down by memories you can't quite shake. These are common experiences and you don't have to navigate this alone—healing is possible, and your story matters.

I work with young children (birth through early childhood), their caregivers, and adults who may still be carrying the impact of their own early experiences. Many of the families I work with are from Latinx communities and other communities of color. Families often come to me when something just doesn’t feel right — a child is having big reactions, things at home feel stressful, or old experiences are showing up in parenting or relationships. Together, we slow things down, try to understand what’s underneath the behavior, and focus on strengthening the relationship between children and their caregivers.

Each stage of life and facet of your identity presents its own obstacles to navigate. Maybe you’re a young person dealing with pressure from family & trying to define your identity. Or, maybe you’re an older adult who feels disconnected from yourself & like you’ve spent too much time caring for others. You might be an immigrant or first-generation American balancing cultures & trying to make things better for the next generation. In any case, it feels like change happens too fast, & it’s hard to catch your breath. All you want is to feel like yourself & find joy in your life, without feeling guilty for prioritizing your needs.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Trauma takes many forms; often in the guise of unprocessed grief and loss. Loss of employment, financial insecurity, divorce, separation, domestic violence and abuse; all must be mourned. We become stuck; often not understanding our own reactions to people, places and things. Our partners, children, colleagues and superiors can appear to feel unfairly entitled to what we have to offer. Our ability to tolerate distress is limited.
