When life gives you lemons...

My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.

In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.

Learning to love the desert

I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.

There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.

Client Leadership

I believe you are the expert on your own experience. My role is to walk alongside you, not ahead of you. I’ll guide with curiosity and care, but I’ll never force a direction that doesn’t feel right to you. Real healing happens when we honor your inner wisdom.

Lean Into Pain - But With Care and Gentleness

We can’t bypass our pain, but we also don’t have to drown in it. I help clients approach what hurts with compassion and readiness—not pressure. Often, it’s not the pain itself, but our fear of it, that keeps us stuck. When we move through it gently and intentionally, it loses its grip.

Healing Never Ends

Healing isn’t a destination—it’s a lifelong process of growth, reconnection, and unfolding. It ebbs and flows as we evolve, often circling back to deepen what we thought was already complete. That’s not failure—it’s wisdom. The more we embrace healing as an ongoing rhythm, the more freedom and compassion we find along the way.

In our first session, you can expect a review of your history, what is currently causing you distress, and the healing and growth you are looking for in therapy. You can also expect to hear from me a little more about how I show in the therapeutic space together.
