I approach therapy as a collaborative process and provide a supportive, empowering, and confidential space. Race, gender, class, and power—and how multiple identities intersect--all inform the work . Intergenerational trauma, parenting, postpartum, depression and anxiety are some of the most common struggles. I am fluent in Spanish. I am also a certified surf therapist! I work with you to co-create small, impactful change. Together we can unlock connection, compassion, and creativity. We all have seeds of growth, change, and healing within us. Humans are natural storytellers. I use the tools of narrative therapy to understand the stories we tell ourselves. I also use play, art. metaphor, and humor to access both our dark and silly places. Tools include writing, grounding, painting, and storytelling. I enjoy working collaboratively and creatively. I offer confidential tele-health services. I ground the process in positive psychology, and somatic and expressive arts therapies. I also offer 4-week group Surf Therapy Workshops in July and January. Next Surf Therapy Workshop is 2-weeks Sunday January 7th, 9-1 and January 14th 9-1. 4-week workshops held Sundays in July/August. Email for details.
