I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction™ meditation teacher, and certified nutritionist. I am dedicated to supporting individuals who are struggling with life circumstances, challenged by limiting beliefs, coping with anxiety, depression or chronic stress, or simply have the desire to live more fully through self inquiry for personal evolution. I started seriously studying and practicing mindfulness/insight meditation in 2009, to work through a surprising amount of anxiety that had arisen due to life circumstances. I have since completed many silent meditation retreats and trainings that inform the way I live and work, perhaps more than any other modality. I completed a 3 year training in Somatic Experiencing Practitioner™ certification and moved on to study the science and art of the Organic Intelligence™ method of nervous system regulation and trauma work since 2010. I obtained my dual degree in clinical health psychology and nutrition at Bastyr University, one of the country’s prominent natural medicine academic institutions, where emphasis is placed on the integration of mind, body, spirit, and nature.

I believe that healing and transformation can happen within relationships and communities. Within these relationships, we gain insight about ourselves and heal relational wounds. As a therapist, our relationship will be the vehicle that drives you towards being the person you want to be and living the life you want to live. I want to help you tap into the power and skills that you already have that may have been buried under layers of trauma, pain, and feelings of hopelessness. I work from an integrated lens of Person-Centered Theory, Relational Cultural Theory, and Feminist Theory. Through genuineness and a strong therapeutic relationship, we can work together to acknowledge and hold space for all the ways that life is difficult and unfair, and also discover how you can create a sense of joy, beauty, purpose, and connection in your life. My therapeutic perspective is highly informed by my lived experience as a fat, black/Latina, queer woman, and I aim to be a safe space for BIPOC, queer/trans/gender-nonconforming folks, fat people/people in larger bodies, and other marginalized communities.

Sometimes life entangles us along the way and it’s held in our bodies in the form of mental distress. I believe that every person has their own innate light to self-healing but may need some support along the way. I find it a great privilege to walk with clients on the personal journey of healing. Through traditional therapy, meditation, body awareness, breathing exercises, and Emotional Freedom Technique we begin the process of healing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and emotional distress. I have over 7 years of experience working in mental health. I’ve worked in residential, school, and office settings with children, adolescents, and adults. Thanks for taking this courageous first step in self care. I look forward to talking with you. Give me a call or send an email. I would be happy to consult with you and see if we are a good fit.
