I'm a multi-cultural, bilingual (English/Español), trauma-sensitive and caring psychotherapist. I'm passionate about neurobiology and the mind-body connection, and I have experience using this integrated approach with clients going through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship struggles. I find it especially fulfilling to work with people who live with disabilities, chronic illness, and/or chronic pain. I know first-hand how challenging it can be to sustain a loss of health, and I consider it a privilege to support you in the many ways this may be impacting your life.
My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and based on your individual needs - combining experiential processing with practical skills for sustained change. I strive to always hold a safe and inclusive space: my practice is Neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirming, and rooted in anti-oppressive frameworks including Anti-Racism, Body Liberation, and Disability Justice.
Whether emotional, physical, or both: your pain is 100% real, it matters, and it carries important information. I believe healing is always possible, and I would love to work with you to help you do so. Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions, or to schedule a free 30 min phone consultation with me.

I love working with clients who are going through an inflection point in their lives - whether that's due to a big change, a loss, a diagnosis (their own or someone else's), or because of a realization or an intentional shift in their path. "Why therapy", and "why now" are meaningful starting points.

My main modality is Somatic Psychotherapy, which means paying attention to how emotions, attitudes, and trauma are held in the body. This allows us to "move through" and process challenging experiences, instead of stopping at intellectually understanding them. I also offer Pain Reprocessing Therapy, an evidence-based treatment for chronic pain caused by neural pathway sensitization.
