Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and burdened by past traumas, perhaps ones tied to your cultural or sexual identity? Do you struggle with anxiety or spirituality and yearn for a deeper connection with nature? Imagine a therapeutic experience that goes beyond traditional methods, one that reconnects you with your mind, body, and the natural world. Together, we can work towards a balanced, fulfilling life where you feel empowered to face challenges and embrace opportunities. If you're ready for this journey, I'm here to walk it with you.
My focus is on healing not just the mind, but also the body and spirit. I offer a safe, affirming space for LGBTQ+ and Latine individuals to explore their cultural and sexual identities. I'm specialized in addressing trauma and use a combination of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, nature-based therapies, and more to help reduce anxiety and existential distress.
I understand the emotional toll that trauma, anxiety, and spirituality issues can take. The journey to healing can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to go it alone. If you're yearning for a deeper connection with nature and your own well-being, I'm here to guide you. Let's work together to bring balance and fulfillment back into your life.
