About My Clients
I work with the healers and helpers who not only have seen the worst in their work, but also have a personal history of trauma. So many in the healing and helping professions have their own backgrounds that fueled their fire to care for others. I work with healthcare workers, birth workers, activists, and other helping professionals who want to move from an inner place of fear, imposter syndrome and co-dependency to a place of inner safety and confidence with awareness and boundaries in place.
My Background and Approach
I have worked in a wide range of settings including on a suicide hotline, community mental health, and as a school based therapist. I approach therapy is that there is no one size fits all approach for therapy. Together we decide which tools will be most helpful for you to reach your goals. Tools that I regularly use include Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing(EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT) skills, brief solution focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) skills, and mindfulness. I also believe in feedback informed therapy because you are the expert in your life and what will best help you to reach your goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Whether I am working with an individual or a family, I am committed to creating brave therapeutic spaces for my clients to find new insights in their stories to build the life and relationships they want. No pretenses, shame free, person first therapy. I am an intersectional feminist and identify as Chicana.
