INTEGRATIVE HEALING FOR YOU
MY EXPERIENCE AND HOW IT
MAY SUPPORT YOU
HOLISTIC PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Meditation, somatic emotional regulation, mindfulness, yoga, and connecting to nature are fundamental to my own well-being. These are the practices I teach my clients, and that's one of the reasons I love sharing them with others. My experience is grounded in indigenous worldviews and the deep resilience I see people access through these teachings.
I want to honor that I live on the ancestral lands of the Tohono O'Odham and Pascua Yaqui peoples, known today as Tucson, Arizona.
Now in my private practice, I've been in the mental health field for over 24 years and have supported thousands of clients of all ages from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Since 2006, I've also offered training and consultation to therapists and community members on a variety of mental health topics, including stress management, nervous system regulation, grief care, trauma therapy, somatic treatment, and EMDR for wounds, young adults, and children. I also offer consultation and coaching to clinicians.
Before entering private practice, I provided counseling services in a variety of settings, including non-profit outpatient clinics like La Frontera, Jewish Family Children's Services, and The International Rescue Committee, as well as the VA Hospital and residential treatment centers. I've consulted at the VA, SAMHSA, Kaiser Hospital, and Sierra Tucson Residential Treatment Centers.
I'm trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, Mindfulness, Emotional Freedom Technique, Somatic work, Mindfulness, Guided Therapeutic Imagery, Nervous System and Emotional Regulation, Neuroscience-informed practices, Stress Management, Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, Couples therapy, and Trauma-informed family therapy, EFT, attachment and trauma-informed work, and Play and Art Therapy.
