I am bi-cultural, fluent in Spanish and proficient in American Sign Language. I welcome and enjoy working with people and families of all races, sexual orientations, gender expressions, physical abilities, cultures and spiritual affiliations.
My work is rooted in mindfulness. Mindfulness is a skill that anyone can learn - basically it's a way of becoming aware of what you are doing, thinking and feeling so that you can make changes if you want to. It's about slowing down and making some space in the fast pace of our modern life. Sometimes we can get stuck when we try working things out by staying in our head. One of the ways you can bypass the chatter of the mind that gets in the way of making change, is to use mindfulness to help you become more aware of your body, and the effect that your thoughts have on you. Our bodies are so connected to how we feel, and to who we are. By slowing down and gently bringing our awareness to our bodies, we can follow the wisdom that the body can show us, so that our path to the change we are seeking will unfold with ease.
I'm a certified Hakomi practitioner, a body oriented, experiential psychotherapy. I offer a type of brain and body based trauma work called Brainspotting. Here is a video about Brainspotting. I also offer a type of body-centered trauma healing called Somatic Release. My work draws on Buddhism and Taoism and is specifically influenced by Thich Naht Hanh and his practice of Engaged Buddhism. I trained with Armand Volkas in Drama Therapy, and also have trained in Augusto Boal's work of the Theatre of the Oppressed. I have training and experience working with the Seeking Safety Model. I am currently a student of Thomas Huebl and am engaged in a two year training on collective and generational trauma.
I actively stay engaged in my own healing work - as well as centering the healing of the systems and fabric of the world we are part of.
I am also a mom and step-mom. This amazing, challenging, life-giving part of my life deeply informs my practice as a therapist.
