About Me
My practice focuses on helping young adults struggling with challenging life transitions who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, low-self esteem, and relationship problems. I also specialize working with mothers with perinatal or postpartum anxiety and depression, by helping them navigate stressful situations during and after pregnancy. I am passionate about providing preventative care, and also supporting a person during a crisis or distressing time. I spend time increasing my client's awareness about what is happening in the brain, mind and body; also provide tools and suggestions in session. I am a bicultural, fluent in Spanish trauma therapist with over 13 years experience in working with people of all ages, however my practice focuses on working with adults. With a background in energy healing as a Reiki practitioner and somatic coach, I integrate different types of mind/body techniques unique to each individual. If you are experiencing negative thoughts, low self-worth and anxiety, or perhaps you often think you "should be doing better", it is time to unravel the programmed beliefs and create alternate ways of thinking. Message me if you have any questions or would like a 15 minute phone consultation.
