Clients I Work With
You're the person who has done the work. You've read the books, explored your childhood, maybe tried therapy before. You understand your patterns. And yet, something still feels stuck.
You might find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, or abandoning your own needs to keep the peace. You second-guess your instincts, struggle to set boundaries that actually hold, and wonder why knowing your patterns hasn't made them easier to change.
You feel things deeply, and sometimes that feels like too much. You might be navigating trauma, grief, or a life transition that has left you unsure of who you are beneath all the coping.
If you're a sensitive, creative person ready for a different kind of healing, one that goes beyond talking, you're in the right place. I work with adults who are ready to trust themselves, feel at home in who they are, and finally stop getting in their own way.
Approach
Sessions with me don't look like traditional therapy. We might make art, track what's happening in your body, or use Brainspotting or EMDR to process what talking hasn't been able to touch. Sometimes we laugh. That's allowed here.
I bring 15 years of clinical training and a deep toolkit, including Expressive Arts, parts work, EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic approaches. I also bring myself, someone who feels things deeply, takes this work seriously, and believes healing is as much spiritual as it is clinical.
I'll give you real guidance, not just reflective questions. I trust the research and I trust something beyond it too.
I meet you where you are, we figure out what your nervous system and your soul actually need, and we go from there.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
I'm a Latina therapist, artist, and highly sensitive person who has done my own deep healing work. This is central to how I show up. I know what it's like to feel too much, to people-please, to work hard at understanding yourself and still feel stuck. That lived experience sits in the room with us.
My values are rooted in social justice, cultural humility, and the belief that healing is not one-size-fits-all. I bring a decolonizing lens to this work, which means I trust your wisdom, not just the clinical model.
I'm also a spiritual person. I believe healing happens on multiple levels and that there is something sacred in the process of coming back to yourself.
Being bilingual and bicultural isn't just a service I offer. It's who I am. For my Spanish-speaking clients, that means being seen in the fullness of your language and culture.
I'm here as a guide, not an author
More About My Practice
In addition to individual therapy, I offer professional clinical trainings for organizations working with trauma-impacted communities. I have trained multidisciplinary teams, clinicians, and staff on trauma-informed care, expressive arts approaches, and parts work frameworks.
I also created the Holistic Trauma Healing Card Deck and Journal, an 88-card tool available in English and Spanish, designed to support nervous system regulation and self-reflection. It is used by individuals, clinicians, and organizations including the Alameda County DA's Office.
I see clients in person in the East Bay and throughout California via telehealth.
If you are an organization, training coordinator, or clinician looking for consultation or training, I would love to connect.
