While I work with a wide range of folks, I tend to be the person folks come to when other therapies haven't worked. Relational Somatic Psychotherapy is a deep and powerful therapeutic approach. It works at a very deep and primal level. We combine neuro-biologically informed treatment with mindfulness, movement, traditional talk therapy, drama therapy and more, all in the container of our relationship.

Are there moments when you feel overwhelmed, tired of feeling stressed, anxious, and discouraged from life events that are out of your control? Maybe you have experienced a significant loss like a relationship ending, a job loss, a move, loss of financial security, or the death of a loved one? All life changes both positive and negative can throw you into grief, a state of disequilibrium, where you struggle to find a new normal or you experience difficulties in your relationships.

Are you anxious or stressed? A bit of a perfectionist for whom things are not perfect? Are past events getting in the way of what you want to do in the present? I love working with adults and teens dealing with anxiety or panic, trauma (including complex trauma), creative/entertainment industry issues, relationships, and identity issues.
I specialize in men's issues, relationship struggles, anxiety, low self-worth, and help all my clients to prioritize their self-care as they navigate burnout and boundary setting. I'm sensitive to themes of people pleasing, perfectionism, internet/gaming addiction, life/career transitions, and work/life balance. I collaborate with clients of all backgrounds and lifestyles in both English and Spanish. I take pride in supporting couples (poly/kink friendly) and individuals (LGBTQI+ affirmative).

Do you find yourself feeling anxious or depressed no matter what you do? You may be struggling with difficult memories, substance abuse or phobias. You may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for things to change. You’re ready to find some relief. Most of all, you’re ready to break and move forward with your life.
Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or defeat, as a result of a significant life change or trauma? Maybe a relationship has ended or a new phase of life has just begun. Perhaps you’re living with the long-term effects of abuse, illness/pain or other traumatic experiences. You may feel unsafe & out of control of your life or emotions. Eventually, these things start to overflow into other areas of life...and yet despite how hard things are right now, you know there’s more to life than this.
As a Chicana (bilingual and bicultural) my aim is to privilege cultural contexts in individual therapy and neuropsych assessments as well as to promote more effective strategies for change. Neuropsychological evaluations consider and assess the relationship between brain and behavior as well as the emotional sequelae of neurological disorders. I work with black, indigenous, and other people of color who struggle with intergenerational/historical trauma in their relationships and everyday life.
