I work with many people in recovery and individuals who have experienced different levels of trauma ( whether it was by having difficulties in childhood or a specific recent event).
I am trained in several trauma specialties including EMDR and Trauma/Resiliency Resourcing. I am a relational therapist who partakes in the work. I work WITH you. I value your history. I often see things from a systemic and attachment viewpoint, but am most interested in your understanding of things.

My experience is working with adults, teens, college students, couples, and families that are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships concerns, and trauma.
I am honored to walk with my clients on their journey of inner healing and understanding. There is tremendous value in exploring our past experiences and how they are internalized based on the messages we receive from those around us. These messages can influence and shape our identity and the types of relationships we have.

I am a Certified EMDR practitioner and Approved Consultant and I have found EMDR effective for development trauma, post-traumatic stress and other conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and stress and panic attacks.
I am interested in treating people whose potential is hindered by negative concepts of themselves imprinted in childhood (through traumatic experiences or neglect of basic emotional needs) and who frequently suffer from symptoms like chronic depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I am committed to helping these individuals attain a sense of self that brings them happiness and fulfillment. My basic perspective is that the human mind possesses the capacity to heal itself, if guided in the right way. I have explored various methods and approaches to helping the mind restore its basic wholeness.

As a first generation Mexican-American daughter, I have lived experience with intergenerational trauma and I am passionate about supporting the BIPOC community.
If you are here, it's possible your parents may not have had the tools to teach you how to understand your emotions and nurture your mental health. I believe that as humans we are shaped by our relationships, beginning with the relationship we had with our primary caregivers, where we begin to develop our sense of self and attachments to others.

We may encounter trauma, negative self-beliefs, internalized judgement or shame, forgotten strengths, nagging questions, and barriers that have been weighing you down.
I believe people are innately resilient and adaptive. When we struggle from disconnection, grief, or sudden changes, we may lose touch with our self-compassion and strengths, feeling trapped in a story that no longer serves us. This may manifest as depression, anxiety, reactivity, substance use, or unwanted relational patterns. You don’t need to go through this alone. You can feel supported, understood, and valued in the face of grief, hard feelings and questions. I will bring hope, compassion, options, insight, and curiosity, but ultimately our work together will be collaborative.
