I am trilingual in English, Portuguese and Spanish which has given me experience working with culturally diverse individuals.
I believe that each individual frames their life from their experiences. Such experiences can cause distress, sometimes making life unbearable. I invite clients in the direction of the unconscious mental process to create healing and promote change. With wholeheartedness and non-judgemental support, I offer a deep journey in search of keys to unveil the answers that lie within. I help clients to find insight, and cope with the underlying causes of emotional and psychological symptoms. I suppose that it is through telling one's unique story, that one can re-write it.

Did you take a DNA test and have a world shattering family surprise? I have experience with DNA surprises and the trauma, identity/genetic bewilderment, and family building/adaptation as a result of the surprise.
I work with historically targeted, exploited, and marginalized identities struggling with stress and anxiety around historical/intergenerational trauma under colonial and capitalist oppression.
I have a decades long background in different forms of socio-political activism. Activists often don’t have the space to discuss the difficulties of movement work, but I’m here to hold that space.

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma during childhood or as adults. Trauma alters our psychophysiology (the way in which the body and mind interact) leading to a variety of mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, addiction and some personality disorders. My main approach to treatment is helping clients understand and manage their autonomic nervous system. When clients learn how to co-regulate and self-regulate, they can manage their symptoms, emotions, thoughts and behaviors more effectively. They also feel safer in their bodies which improves their relationships and sense of self.

A licensed psychologist and educator, I bring a warm and collaborative approach to therapy stemming from my belief in the dignity and uniqueness of each client's therapeutic journey. It is an honor and privilege for me to bring support and expertise to a tailored, therapeutic journey.
My counseling and clinical experience allow me to bring multiple, clinical treatment approaches to the client. I draw on a number of Eastern practices, that I am experienced in and where there is interest, to bring to therapy (Mindfulness Meditation, T'ai Chi, and Qi Gong). I run social anxiety, mindfulness, and somatic body image groups each year.
