About Me
Are you ready to make sense of painful experiences, gain understanding of your past and work toward a brighter future? If you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, or not feeling "like yourself" please reach out. I have experience with the effects that generational trauma and difficult life adjustments can have on daily life when they are not processed. I have also seen the relief people gain when they are able to safely and collaboratively explore traumatic events.
My goal is creating a safe healing space for people to grow and connect to their true selves. I am a curious listener and it is my passion to empathetically and humbly guide you through your healing journey. I offer a space for people to explore the facets of their experiences as well as coping skills so you can connect with what matters most in your life.
Let's work together to discover your opportunities for personal healing! Please review the insurances that I accept or consider starting on a cash pay basis. I am available for your call and offer a 15 minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
EMDR Consultation:
My consultation is for therapists working with clients who have complex trauma, attachment wounds, dissociation, sexual trauma; and/or are BIPOC, monolingual Spanish speaking, receiving treatment in the community mental health setting. The consultation offers a place to work through common issues experienced in therapy such as engagement, establishing trust, and improving your confidence in using the 8 phases while working through insurance or state funding.
I provide information packets on commonly used protocols and organizational tools in BOTH English and Spanish. During consultation we will go in depth on meeting our vulnerable clients' security needs as well as “meeting them where they are at” in their healing journey. Practical help and whole person care also being important factors for healing and potential roadblocks for EMDR. Consultation is case-based and focused on finding your clients unique strengths to aid adaptive reprocessing. My goal is to set you up for success in using EMDR in your setting with confidence!
Consultation is for clinicians pursuing completion of basic training, certification, or those seeking more insights with complex cases. As a (CIT) consultant-in-training, I can provide up to 15 hrs of consultation to each consultee seeking certification and provide a letter of recommendation.
I offer Individual consultation on an ongoing basis for a fee of $80/ hour.
My group consultation fees are $25/ person.
