Life can feel like a roller coaster—our hearts, minds, and bodies soaring at times, and other times sinking low. Along this journey, we may face challenges like depression, anxiety, anger, communication difficulties, low self-esteem, major life changes, or the need to adjust to something new. Each person, couple, or family has their own time to seek support. The important thing to remember is: it’s never too late. Cada persona, pareja o familia tiene su propio momento para buscar ayuda. Lo más importante es recordar que nunca es tarde.

In my work, I want to understand your brain functioning, as well as how information flows. Perhaps your brain is functioning well but processing the information that comes in is a struggle. Or perhaps you have a peak performing brain in terms of how information is processed, but it is not functioning to its peak level. As a client, you have been to countless doctors, and therapists, as well as other types of treatment. And yet you STILL can't seem to get stabilized or feel like your life is on track. Medications might work a little - but really don’t seem to solve the struggle. and you just want to feel normal and feel GOOD!

You’re running on autopilot—juggling responsibilities, showing up for others, but feeling disconnected from yourself. Maybe there's a voice in your head claiming that you’re not enough, or you sense a constant pressure to hold it all together. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and gently explore the patterns that keep you stuck—whether it’s people-pleasing, self-criticism, perfectionism, or shutting down in conflict. We’ll build tools for boundaries, communication, and self-compassion, so that life feels less like survival mode and more rich with joy, peace, and connection.

No matter what you try, it does not seem to make things better. You want to feel close and connected to others, but it feels so hard. It seems like we are supposed to just figure it out alone, but no one ever showed you how to do that. If you are looking to make your relationships stronger or find yourself having the same challenges repeatedly, you are not alone. Our relationships are the backbone of our lives. But for many of us, they can be confusing and challenging at times. If you are looking to find meaning and growth to have the types of relationships that bring you joy and fulfillment, it is a skill and can be developed.

I am somatic therapist that supports BIPOC adults and adult children of immigrants who experience anxiety, burnout, cultural stress, and trauma. My clients are coming to therapy because they tired of being stuck in a survival response loop. They struggle to honor their boundaries, they feel disconnected from their bodies and they over identify with their past trauma which negatively impacts their current relationships. As a result of therapy, clients learn and embody how communicate their boundaries, expand their capacity to manage stressors of life, and release perfectionism all while being embodied without abandoning themselves.

I am best suited for working with women experiencing life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, work/relationship/motherhood balance, and impacts of trauma. I integrate somatic techniques such as EMDR and yoga practices to strengthen a mind-body connection. I believe women can heal wounded parts and deconstruct negative beliefs when we get curious. Together, we can increase your level of self-awareness, learn mind-body practices, increase your capacity to manage life's stressors and create healthy boundaries. Ultimately, allowing you to feel more confident and in control of your life.

I know it can feel overwhelming-and even downright annoying to scroll through picture after picture and bio after bio, trying to figure out who might actually get you. Let me cut to the chase: I may not look or act like the therapist you see on TV-and that's a good thing, because your life isn't a reality show. You're a unique individual, and my first goal is to help you value that in yourself and recognize that you are the expert in your own life.

My use of the phrase “Top of the Morning” greeting began in my days in the operating rooms of the Houston Medical Center some twenty years ago. It was a break away from the traditional greetings. This gave birth to the idea we can begin every day over if we are willing to change. "Top of the Morning" greets you with a sense of hope. My practice invites you to an holistic, mind, body and spirit approach to therapy. Together, we can build a safe, confidential, and responsible client therapist relationship.
