(INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, ADULT FAMILY UNITS)

Helps with chronic illness, trauma of varying complexities, neurodiversity, professional exposure to trauma (inc. veterans, first responders, medical professionals), parenting stressors, racial trauma, and identity difficulties. Approaches: Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, neurodevelopmental perspective.

My journey as a therapist has largely consisted of working with individuals, couples, and families with complex histories and treatment needs. Their ability to overcome adversities and trauma strengthened my belief that we all have resources within ourselves to support healing. My role as your therapist is to collaboratively guide you in strengthening those resources and provide a safe setting in which healing and corrective experiences can occur, and over time generalize to all areas of life. 


As a Mexican woman of Indigenous heritage, I understand the importance of considering and integrating different aspects of identity that may inform the way we respond to stressors. Living in Alaska has only strengthened my passion for ensuring that we consider those aspects given how diverse, as well as unique, Alaska is!

  • racial trauma/cultural identity issues
  • complex trauma, PTSD, and dissociation
  • medical trauma 
  • relationship conflicts and betrayals
