You've been holding it together for so long you can't remember what it felt like not to be exhausted. Maybe you're a caregiver, a helper, or someone who keeps showing up for everyone else while quietly falling apart.
I'm a trauma-informed Chicana therapist with 20+ years of experience. I work with burned-out adults, neurodivergent folks, women in midlife, and people from working class communities who never felt like therapy was made for them.
My approach is somatic informed, culturally grounded, and deeply human. You are welcome here.
I draw from nervous system grounding and existential approaches to help clients understand their nervous system, build coping skills, and make meaning from difficult experiences. Together, we explore what feels overwhelming and create supportive, practical tools to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself.
As a Chicana therapist, I value the importance of culture, identity, and community, however family may present. My work integrates decolonizing perspectives and trauma-informed care to create an inclusive, grounded, and safe space for healing. I meet clients where they are, honoring their strengths, histories, and lived experiences. You are welcome here.
