Life can be difficult especially with the significant demands we all have. This can be even more complicated when managing neurodivergence, being "different", and feeling out of place. I understand these challenges from both personal and professional experiences and am here to support you on your journey to find self-acceptance and supporting you in managing your life.

​

I offer a range of specialized modalities in both English and Spanish to support you in finding yourself and moving forward. These specialized modalities and areas of expertise include:

​

• Neurodiversity Affirming and Queer Affirming therapy focusing on identity discovery and acceptance

• Anxiety and Depression focusing on life’s daily challenges managing these symptoms

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

  • This modality offers a similar experience to EMDR to process past trauma utilizing eye movements. It can be supportive in processing significant traumatic events that have felt “stuck” throughout your life.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • This modality offers an approach to navigate past trauma and ongoing internal stress. By separating your mind into “parts”, we work to increase your understanding of yourself to process inner conflicts, reduce trauma symptoms, and find balance.

• Pain Reprocessing Therapy

  • This modality offers a specialized approach to treating chronic pain and stress. It utilizes somatic tracking a form of mind body awareness to reduce symptoms and decrease or totally get rid of pain.

• Mindfulness Based Therapy

  • This modality offers tools to better support you in coping with your symptoms. Mindfulness is not a “one size fits all” practice and as a Certified Yoga Instructor I am here to support you in integrating mindfulness in your daily life to reduce symptoms.

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

  • This modality offers specialized support in processing past trauma utilizing techniques primarily developed for children that can also be adapted to support adults.
