Do you feel like you’re just white-knuckling it through the day? I work with adults navigating life's multiple challenges, whether you are a college student, a new parent, in recovery, or living with neurodivergence and chronic illness. Maybe you're struggling to connect to your true self and others, or your trauma history is getting in the way of feeling safe in your body. You and I will start from square one by building safety together first, before we work on the heavy stuff. We can take a body-based direction, a solution-focused direction, or a little of both. You are the expert on your own experience; we go at your pace.
I offer a neuro-affirming approach treating you as a whole person, not a checklist. With specialized training in ADHD/Autism assessments and neurodivergent-focused EMDR, we’ll safely explore your unique processing style and trauma without pathologizing your lived experience. Let’s address masking or numbing, and guide you home to your body and mind.
My lived experience as a neurodivergent parent, LGBTQIA+ community member, and second-generation American of Hispanic heritage deeply informs my work. I know how hard it is to retell your story; I’m not here to probe for details, but to sit with you in the messiness and build safety. If you're ready to walk through this together, please reach out.

I use a neuro-affirming approach focused on listening to your body's signals and exploring your internal parts. Integrating neurodivergent-focused EMDR with practical, somatic tools, I reject one-size-fits-all models to fit what you actually need in the moment. You can expect a grounded collaboration as we work to reconnect your physical self, your emotions, and your authentic identity.
