Counseling Services for Adults
Free Consultation
20 min/Free
During this brief 20-minute phone or video call, we’ll explore if we are a good fit. We can discuss what’s bringing you in, we can go over any questions you have about me, therapy and our work together, as well as logistical details like payment, paperwork, insurance, scheduling, and accessibility needs.
If we decide to work together, you’ll complete a registration packet before our first session.
Intake Appointment
60 min/$220
Our first session is called an intake session, where we’ll talk more in-depth about what brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of it. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other better, share some of your story, and set some intentions/goals for our work together.
Ongoing Therapy
55 min/$170
In our ongoing therapy sessions, I’ll accompany and support you through life’s joys and challenges. Along with addressing current stressors, we’ll work together to identify patterns and process past experiences that might be impacting how you want to show up and experience the world.
I typically see folks weekly or bi-weekly and we can decide together how often we would like to meet.
In my work with adults, I blend somatic therapy, brainspotting, and talk therapy to help you connect deeply with your body and mind. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating identity, or working through life’s challenges, I’m here to support you in finding safety, strength, and clarity. My approach is rooted in social justice and anti-oppressive values, so I’m committed to honoring your whole self, including your culture, identity, and experiences and helping you build agency on your own terms.
I enjoy working with adults virtually and in person and sessions can be completed in English, Spanish or Spanglish

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-centered therapeutic approach that focuses on how trauma and stress are stored in the body. SE helps individuals tune into their body sensations and reactions to understand what the body needs, whether that is to release stored tension or unresolved trauma, and/or integrate new meaning into the system. The idea behind SE is that when traumatic experiences occur, they can get "stuck" in the body and affect both physical and emotional health. Through this method, clients learn to become more aware of how their nervous system responds and use that awareness to process, discharge trauma, come back together, which can lead to a sense of release, regulation, and overall healing.
In a Somatic Experiencing session, I will guide you to notice sensations in your body, such as tightness, warmth, or tension. By focusing on these physical cues, you can start to identify where trauma is held. Together we will "track" your sensations, allowing you to explore how they shift or change, offering insight into your emotional experience. The session can feel more like a gentle exploration of the body rather than traditional talk therapy.
What is Somatic Experiencing?
What’s Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique developed by Dr. David Grand that uses the positioning of the eyes to access and process deep-seated emotional experiences, including trauma. It is based on the concept that where you look can influence your brain’s ability to process information. By focusing on a specific point in your visual field while tuning into an emotional experience, Brainspotting helps the brain identify and release emotional blockages. It is often used for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other intense emotional experiences, allowing the brain to process information more deeply than through verbal methods alone.
In a Brainspotting session, we will work together to identify a specific area of focus (could be an emotional or traumatic memory) and then I will help you focus on a "brainspot"—a specific point in your visual field. While focusing on this spot, you may experience a variety of emotions or physical sensations, which helps your brain process the trauma or emotion more effectively. We will process from this spot much like described in Somatic Experiencing above allowing for release, re-processing and regulation.
