I see folx who navigate intersectional identities (Latinx/BIPOC, immigrants, queer, trans, non-binary). I work with any number of issues including: depression, anxiety, ADHD, neurodivergence, learning disabilities, chronic pain, financial trauma, adoption, aging, self-esteem, body image, creativity, life transitions, and life purpose. I see people 14 years of age and up.
My practice is heavily influenced by Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. These modalities are inherently trauma-informed, culturally-responsive and anti-oppressive. Story-telling and other modes of creativity help us re-connect with the stories that highlight our knowledge, skills, resources and abilities.
The healing process can include many things outside of therapy. Your passions and interests contain important clues about your life's purpose. ​ If you invite me to work with you, we will partner to surface your stories of strength, courage, knowledge, skill and ability. I will support you in re- aligning with your values, hopes, dreams.

Luna's approach resonates with me, deeply; when she explained the concept of Narrative therapy, and walked me through an exercise, I thought, "this just makes so much sense!" Luna is gentle, insightful and a pleasure to work with.
