Trauma can live quietly in the body—held in the breath, the muscles, and the nervous system. You may experience intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks; avoid people or places that feel unsafe; carry fear, guilt, or shame; or feel constantly on edge, tense, or hypervigilant. Your responses are protective patterns shaped by past experiences not signs of weakness.
Throughout my career, I have supported children, adolescents, and adults impacted by posttraumatic stress across medical, academic, nonprofit, and government settings. For over a decade, I have provided bilingual (Spanish), evidenced based, trauma-informed care to culturally diverse clients in New York City, Washington State, and California’s Central Coast.
Navigating life after trauma can feel lonely, overwhelming, or disorienting. If you’re noticing even a whisper of "maybe" or a quiet yes within you, please connect. I will be here when you’re ready. "You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” — C.S. Lewis
