I'm biracial, Latina and systems-informed.

You're carrying generational and childhood trauma. You have family of origin trauma to unpack. You’re overwhelmed. Your emotional reactions feel reactive and uncontrollable. Defenses feel high. Stress has left you in a state of “survival mode” and you are wanting to slow down & cope. I often work with clients who have experiences with Complex Trauma (C-PTSD). I support you in understanding your reactions and exploring coping strategies that feel more supportive to you now and as you grow and adapt. I focus on trauma, abuse, dysfunctional relationship patterns, identity, self-worth, anxiety, depression, body image & burnout.
