Rooted in Connection
Healing is a journey, and I’m on it too.
Welcome
Healing is a journey, and I’m on it too. As a survivor of complex trauma, I know how much courage it takes to begin, and how much becomes possible when we’re met with care. My own healing shapes every part of my work, from the counseling room to the classroom to every EMDR training I lead.
Where I Come From
I was born in Laredo and raised in San Diego, Texas, and my rural roots are at the heart of who I am. As a Latina from South Texas, I carry the strength, warmth, and familia of the small communities that raised me into my work, especially when I serve rural and underserved communities.
What Keeps Me Grounded
Prayer and yoga keep me centered. My children are my heart and my greatest teachers, and my cats bring daily comfort and joy. My amazing circle of women, my feminine genius tribe, reminds me that none of us heals alone. And the purpose I find in this work keeps me grounded every day.
What I Believe About Healing
We heal in connection, not in isolation.
Our brains and bodies are wired to grow toward health when we feel safe.
Pain can become power and purpose.
Every person deserves to be met with dignity, curiosity, and care.
