Great to meet you!

You hear the voice in your head with the negative thought cycle? The voice is not you, you are the one listening to it. The voice wants to help you but sometimes it can sound a little frantic and even hopeless because of the experiences you’ve been through. Which experiences in particular? It helped you to remain in fear or defeat during those experiences but they are now over. We create new neural pathways for current triggering experiences to not automatically lead to fearful and hopeless thoughts but to a more regulated nervous system with an adaptive perspective. It takes practice, patience, and playfulness with yourself.

My approach to therapy

I apply evidence-based practices in therapy such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems. Follow my lead as we discover the answers you carry within yourself to get in the driver seat of your internal world. I see adolescents, couples, and families as well, all from a trauma-informed perspective. I identify as a first generation, Mexican-American (able-bodied, cisgendered) woman :) all identities deserve to feel safe and embraced. I speak Spanish fluently. Online sessions only. I take most insurances, message me or text or call 248-492-0559, I am available week days and Saturdays.
