We all deserve to experience joy, have a voice and discover our most authentic selves. I want to support you in learning how to hone your strengths and leverage your power to feel fulfilled in your life journey. Whether you are experiencing a life transition, had an “aha” moment, want insight to a pattern, or whether someone is encouraging you to seek support; we will spend time exploring your unique circumstances and possible solutions to alleviate your distress. I believe in our need to be connected, loved and to feel whole and that the absence of these feelings can be the basis for some of our struggles and suffering.
I work from a liberation-decolonial framework which allow us to unpack ancestral, societal & personal trauma embedded in our family lineage & the stories we tell ourselves. We explore how pain and trauma manifest in relationships, bodies & behaviors. We engage with the mind, body and spirit informed by Indigenous healing and center your cultural identities.
Prioritizing you is a radical act of love for yourself, your family & community. We are interconnected therefore your healing will eventually have a cascade effect of wellness in your circles. I would be honored to accompany you in this journey of exploration & healing & look forward to connecting with you. I provide services in English & Spanish.
