I'm trained in EMDR and use this frequently, while drawing from contemplative and somatic practices, mindfulness and meditative practices and parts work.
Sometimes life is painful. We all struggle and this doesn't mean you're defective. There's simply something that needs attention and care. Maybe you're overwhelmed with strong emotions, or feeling down or numbed out. Or you're experiencing painful, recurring thoughts that cause anxiety- part of you understands these thoughts aren't true, but they can really feel true. Whatever it is that you're going through, I'll listen with warmth and compassion as we work together to help you process difficult emotions, grief or traumas so that you can experience more joy, self-compassion, and presence in your life.

I provide a safe and compassionate space for you to reflect, find clarity, and feel supported as you make changes to make your life more what you'd like it to be. Sometimes this is after many years of trying to make relationships work without therapy. Sometimes this is when you realize you're too lonely and isolated and need some support to break those isolating habits. Sometimes this is when you have taken on all the stress and responsibility of your family and you feel at your breaking point. Psychotherapy can help you find ways to make your life the one you want to be living.

I am licensed in Washington State and I work with adult children, partners and siblings of individuals with Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Disorder traits. It can be difficult to find a therapist who truly understands the impact and wounds of being raised in a home or being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic traits or borderline traits. My work includes creating a healthy psychological separation, changing the negative internal messages, learning how to respond to others, creating healthy boundaries, stopping the legacy of distorted love and becoming your true and authentic self.

Life is unpredictable with many ups and downs. No matter how much we want life to move in a linear fashion it often goes unplanned causing us to feel off balance.

Therapy is different for every individual and/or couple. I have an EMDR, existential & integrative approach to helping clients create healthy, fulfilling and rewarding lives. I integrate therapeutic styles depending on the best fit for client and situation.

I work with each client as a unique individual with a goal to heal the whole person. Real and lasting change comes not only from an understanding of your issues and concerns, but from creating corrective emotional experiences that allow you to release old and unproductive patterns of thinking and behaving.

You're pretty much a survival-mode expert. You take pride in your robust ability to show up and take care of the shitty parts of life. You've managed and masked well until now. Suddenly your quirks have become magnified, old wounds re-triggered, and the shame and blame intensified; you can't hold it together much longer. Time’s passed and your ability to cope has too - only secretly. You’ve got no one to talk to because you’ve convinced everyone you’re “fine”. You escape to the bathroom to prevent overwhelm-induced public meltdowns. You are stuck, stagnant, and searching for yourself and where you belong...but where to start?

Your anxiety won’t go away, no matter what you’ve tried. The grief in your heart is heavy, and you are scared it will weigh down the people around you, too. The trauma from your childhood keeps coming up, no matter how much you try to push it down, and it affects your intimate relationships. You struggle to fall asleep at night, and then struggle to wake up in the morning. Your neck and back are in constant pain from the tension, and you might even experience migraines or digestive issues. You want to live a life that feels peaceful and purposeful, but can’t seem to get out of your own way.

Feeling lost and disconnected from your Self? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or hopeless. Maybe you wonder, "What's wrong with me?" Whatever you're experiencing, I believe that you have the ability to heal. How? By not only addressing your symptoms, but the underlying, root causes of them. I support clients in processing the root of their pain, so they can remember and release unconscious material that has been keeping them stuck, symptomatic, and separated. When you process at the root, your symptoms resolve naturally because they're no longer needed, making way for greater health, wholeness, freedom, and peace.

I use somatic approaches to help you understand your connection to your body and your experience everyday life.
I know that reaching out for therapy can be so intimidating, especially with issues related to sexuality. You may be looking to step into a more authentic versions of yourself or you may be dealing with relationship struggles.

I use community-based experience and evidence-based practices derived from cognitive behavioral therapy, parent coaching, somatic and trauma informed therapy.
As a bilingual and bicultural Spanish speaking therapist I have a passion to work with Latinx community. I believe it is very important to understand a client's background, and belief system from a cultural and social perspective. I have experience supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, life transitions and parenting challenges. I work with adults, children and their parents/caregivers. People need a space where they can feel listened and safe to tell stories of pain and trauma. But also, a place where someone believes in them and can be an ally in their path to find their authentic self.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
