You're feeling overwhelmed. You're carrying generational trauma. Your emotional reactions cause an impact in your relationships, leading to frustration and pain. Your 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 & in the future. 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 and 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 focus on the mind-body connection.
It's brave of you to seek support. You deserve a space to be truly heard and explore your identity, values & pain. My goal is to develop your capacity for ease, laughter & connection. I often work with those who identify as Latine/x, POC &/or Queer. Please reach out for a consultation if you feel we could be a good fit to work together!
