Are you constantly overwhelmed? Are your emotional reactions causing an impact in your relationships, leading to frustration and pain? Are your defenses high? Are you stuck in “survival mode” and looking for alternative ways to cope with stress?

I have lived experiences with how stressful, overwhelming, expensive and isolating higher education can feel. The pressure, the busy schedule for school, work, friendships and all the while discovering who you are. I’d love to support you through your school journey.

I often work with clients who have experiences with complex trauma. Challenging experiences can cause us to build survival mechanisms to get through. I support you in understanding your reactions and exploring coping strategies that feel more supportive to you now & in the future. I focus on trauma, abuse, dysfunctional relationship patterns, identity, self-worth, body image and burnout.

I work with those who are managing complex trauma, trauma healing, abuse, anxiety and depression. I focus on those struggling with dysfunctional relationship patterns, identity, self-worth, body image and burnout. Often my clients identify as Latinx, BIPOC, queer or as living in a diverse or larger body.
