Who I Work With
I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have a particular affinity for people in a caregiving or healing role—inside a family, a network, or a community—and for people who think and feel through their bodies: dancers, yoga practitioners and teachers, bodyworkers, and anyone who has found that words alone have not reached the place that hurts. I also work with people through conception, birth, and early parenthood, and I offer clinical supervision and consultation to other therapists.
What I Help With
Trauma healing is my specialty: sexual, childhood, developmental, and intergenerational trauma. I also work with communication and relationship difficulty, mood, stress, chronic pain, sleep, and energy flow; with grief and loss; with major life transitions; and with soul-purpose, spiritual practice, and the search for meaning, including religious and spiritual trauma and the recovery of a spiritual life on your own terms. I am passionate about helping heal one's relationship with the masculine, for all of us.
I meet each person with a collaborative spirit, listening for the unique signature of intelligence in each of us to guide the way along your healing path.
How I Work
My approach is somatic and body-centered. Our work may draw on somatic movement therapy, Laban Movement Analysis, Gestalt therapy, Somatic Experiencing and Hakomi-informed practice, trauma-sensitive yoga and yoga therapy, mindfulness and MBSR, dance and improvisational movement, herbalism, and nature-based practice, alongside talk therapy.
I will be here for you as a stable, gentle, patient, embodied, and empathic presence. I will help create trust in yourself and provide tools along the way for whatever is personally needed to emerge inside of you: to regain your balance, to reclaim your authorship, to let go of what needs to be let go, to move toward the life you are being called to.
How my integrative approach wove together from the threads of many lineages.
I stepped onto the healer's path through the arts and social justice, first as a dance researcher and choreographer studying ceremonial dance forms and cultural identity abroad, and later teaching dance, yoga, meditation, and choreography to vulnerable communities.
As an MFA candidate at the University of Utah, I completed the Integrated Movement Studies Laban Movement Analyst Certification program under the tutelage of Peggy Hackney, Ed Groff, and Janis Meaden. That program trained my attention on the smallest movements a person makes, the subtle shifts of face, breath, and posture that carry meaning before words do. Later, I became a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist & Educator. I worked for two years under the mentorship and supervision of Rebecca Stone, LCSW, whose practice draws on Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing therapy, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I received a year of psychoanalytic training at the Training Institute for Mental Health and a year of Gestalt therapy training at Brooklyn College with Sabina Galli. My foundation in Gestalt and Somatic Experiencing came through study with Karin Weidenmueller. Scott Kellogg trained me in his Transformational Chairwork. Dr. Jennifer Chen led my cultural sensitivity training, and I completed a two-year Spiritual Herbalism Apprenticeship with Karen Rose of Sacred Vibes. I had a five-year mentorship with Jillian Pransky, during which I completed a Yoga Therapy Certificate. I have completed multiple trainings in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga and Mindfulness under the lineage of the Trauma Center, and with Chia-Ti Chiu and Lesley Brooker of the Lineage Project. I finished a training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, which reawakened the magic and healing of living in a state of open curiosity toward the moment-to-moment experience. Between 2019 and 2021 I studied with Luisa Harpriya Guigliano, a yoga therapist, women's group facilitator, and poet, completing the Interfaith Ministry certification training at the Dream Hive, which she founded. My current mentors are Susan Feinbloom and Alexandria Lopez, clairvoyant psychotherapists who both hold the lineage of the Berkeley Psychic Institute. I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Brooklyn College.
My connection to the body, community, and nature.
Growing up in rural coastal Maine, I found nature to be the home of the sacred and a provider of eternal belonging. The sensorial experience of the woods and rocky coastal landscapes helped center me in the stories of my bodily wisdom and a sense of the larger community of nature. My innate medicine has always directed me toward physical movement and dance in times of stress, confusion, or loneliness. At the intersection of somatic research, improvisational movement, eco-feminism, map-making, and environmental psychology, I began place-based studies with Terry Tempest Williams in 2006. This led to community building and environmental change work through public body-based arts projects, such as the four-part series of experiential plant walks I led with my collaborator, Eva Perrotta. In these walks, participants learned about wild urban medicinal plants and deepened their relationship to the sacred wisdom of nature in urban landscapes through specially designed movement scores, experiential anatomy partnering activities, and practices for observing oneself in the external environment. A curiosity for herbalism grew out of this work, which led me to my apprenticeship with Karen Rose. Karen holds the lineage of the Wise Woman Way and the Dagara elder Malidoma Patrice Somé's work with ancestral and indigenous African spirit technologies.
By embodying the land I embody my body. By doing this in community, all my relations are recovered. This nourishes my soul and leads me to the deeper work of my soul longings, integration, and healing.

Who I Work With
I offer somatic, depth-oriented psychotherapy for individuals and groups. I work most often with space holders and healers—therapists, counselors, teachers, bodyworkers, clergy, and the people everyone else leans on. I work with artists, writers, and musicians. I work with fathers, and with men doing their own work. And I work with highly sensitive people, empaths, and caregivers: the ones who feel everything in the room and have never been shown what to do with it.
What I Help With
People come to me with anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, burnout, and depression. With conflict in relationships and families. With creative block and the particular pressure artists put on themselves. With questions of purpose, meaning, and spiritual life, including religious and spiritual trauma—harm done inside a faith community, and the long work of separating inherited belief from what you actually hold to be true. With the exhaustion of holding space for everyone else. And with the slow work of undoing what unexamined masculinity has cost them and the people they love.
How I Work
My approach draws on Jungian and depth psychology, somatic therapy, Gestalt therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, mindfulness, transpersonal psychology, Transformational Chairwork and psychodrama, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), ancestral healing, and energy work, which I also teach in supervision to the clinicians I oversee. If any of that is jargon, I would love the chance to explain it—these concepts are accessible.
What a Session Looks Like with Me
Over the years I have cultivated my own integrated body-mind-soul approach that is caring, inclusive, and holistic. Above all, I am here for people to be deeply listened to with patience and gentleness. This approach is fundamentally rooted in helping people identify or reclaim their love for themselves and others, their sense of freedom, emotional fluidity, inherent uniqueness, and full imagination. I am passionate about healing the damage done by unconscious and wounded masculinity in order to restore trust, hope, and love for all of us.
It is important for me to help clients tangibly implement our work in their lives, so that the work is practical, applicable, and effects substantial change.
I have come to understand how much "mental health" is related to how we have been mistaught to repress or misdirect our emotions. We are taught that "being emotional" is dangerous, or annoying, or not productive. But what we think of as being emotional tends to refer to the stories we have about our emotions ("I'm anxious because I never get things perfect") or the behaviors that arise out of restricted emotions (getting angry at someone because we are avoiding shame or fear).
Emotions are the sensory experiences of being alive, and they are all pathways to love and freedom. You will feel what I am talking about—this is not an intellectualizing or spiritual bypassing technique. I am here to help you get tangible results as quickly as possible: to feel alive and connected to your work, to the people around you, and to the earth and the more-than-human world.
Assisting clients to articulate their needs to themselves and others with honesty and compassion is a big part of my work. I teach the heart-centered practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and help clients develop fluency in it. Together we will reimagine what is possible and draw out what is healthy and human—from our hearts, our lineage, and the earth—from underneath all of the devastating and disorienting conditioning and programming out there.
More about how I see the systems we live in as the primary explanation for what we call the individual's "mental illness."
Healing is to make whole. We are whole to begin with, and in some way always are, but over time this wholeness becomes seemingly fractured, covered over and disguised by harmful and insufficient ideas—from the familial to the overculture—along with unprocessed traumas and unmet dreams. Our work reclaims the pieces and puts them back in their rightful place.
This is a process of identifying and releasing the toxicity of having been enculturated into a colonized world, and it is also an ancestral healing process. Colonization is a cultural (and ancestral) root of many negative beliefs which perpetuate addiction, hopelessness, and a chronic turning away from the self, from community, and from our planet. This turning away also happens to (surprise!) fuel the current capitalistic, patriarchal, heteronormative paradigm, and is sending humanity to the brink of collapse. Yikes.
If you are in pain, you are paying attention.
There is no prison more confining than the one we don't know we are in, and these destructive systems create "invisible prisons" inside our minds (that we then call mental illness) which keep us from our fundamental nature—one of sovereignty, embodiment, play, community, pleasure, creativity, and living in right relationship with ancestry, each other, and our planet.
I am not a passive observer in the therapy process. I play an active part, being present and bearing witness while also sharing my intuition and weaving in the many tools I've discovered on my life path or received from my teachers and mentors. I have a passion for helping my clients integrate their ongoing relationships to the microcosm and the macrocosm, and to the various systems we live inside of. These tools—from meditations, to working with the energy body, to identifying and releasing negative beliefs, to developing keen somatic awareness—are all easy to learn and implement.
It's understandable to be skeptical of some of this language, or of these poetic and diffuse summaries of what the work can be like, and I appreciate and welcome it when that comes up. Trying to describe therapy always reminds me of the old line about music: talking about it is like dancing about architecture. It just needs to be experienced. So I welcome resistance with love and interest (it's courageous to disagree or be skeptical) and strive to connect, to understand everyone's wisdom, and first and foremost to meet people where they are. Working with countless clients from different backgrounds and getting similar results with these techniques does point to evidence of something—something I think science will catch up to.
I'm a father of a daughter and am devoted to making a more just, equitable, and conscious world now and for future generations of human and more-than-human life. I am racial justice, LGBTQIA+, and non-monogamy affirming, devoted to deconstructing systems of harm to humans and non-humans resulting from racial, heteronormative, and hierarchical power structures.
Okay, that is a lot! If you are still reading and want to learn more about me personally, read on :)

I arrived at the field of mental health through the arts, teaching art and training as a figurative artist at the Florence Academy of Art and later the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where I received my Master of Fine Arts. My figurative training taught me to track the micro-movements in people's faces and bodies, which laid the groundwork for my subsequent somatic psychotherapeutic training. My creative practice is a huge part of my life. I have several fiction projects in the works, and I am a dedicated performing musician, devoted to the craft of singing and the guitar and driven to see what is possible living in the golden age of music gear.
Out of a love of helping people, I founded and ran a small non-profit, the Artist Volunteer Center, from 2014 to 2017, to help artists volunteer in socially conscious causes by supporting their artwork through grants, residencies, and shows. This work allowed me to address systemic trauma in communities while supporting artists and artwork that did not fall into the conventional capitalistic gallery system. Throughout this time I was drawn more to the mental health and wellness of the artists and communities I was working with than to the artwork they were making, and I felt called to become a therapist.
At Brooklyn College I did my clinical internship at a psychoanalytic institute and had a close relationship with my supervisor, the late great Len Weiner, an ego psychologist and master of working with resistance. I learned many tools from the psychoanalytic approach but also saw its shortcomings, and was compelled not to work in a purely mind-oriented approach (let alone one with antiquated and at times problematic ideals at its core).
-
I see my role as a therapist in part as a mentor. In order to keep this process fully alive, I seek to continually be under the mentorship of someone (or something—as mentorships can be with places, plants, and the more-than-human world).
Upon graduating from Brooklyn College with a Mental Health Counseling degree, I worked under the mentorship and supervision of Daniel Cook, who holds the relational, somatic, and transpersonal lineages of Naropa University, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and the developmental somatic psychotherapy of Ruella Frank. Under the guidance of Karin Weidenmueller I developed my foundation in Gestalt and Somatic Experiencing. I trained with Scott Kellogg in his Transformational Chairwork, and I bring this and other elements of psychodrama to my work.
I received cultural sensitivity training from Dr. Jennifer Chen and somatic racial equity coaching from Ethan Kerr, and I am committed to anti-racist and decolonizing work for others and in my own internal work as a white-identified person. I've received mentorship from Luisa Harpriya Guigliano, yoga therapist and poet who founded the Dream Hive, where I completed an Interfaith Ministry certification training.
I was mentored for several years by Susan Feinbloom, a clairvoyant psychotherapist who holds the lineages of hypnotherapy, the Newton Institute, Berkeley Psychic Institute, and John Fulton of Aesclepion Healing Center.
From Michael Meade I learned how to understand and help others access the wisdom inside the symbolic and the mythic, and have had the privilege of sitting in circle with him at his Mosaic Mentoring men's retreat.
Through a deep inquiry into the indigenous ways and wisdom of Malidoma Somé I learned about initiation and rites of passage. I received a year of spiritual counsel from Otis Gaddis III with a focus on ancestral, collective, and trans-dimensional healing. I was a member of Francis Weller's Soulful Life cohort, a nine-month intensive that created a village mindset to explore working with grief in community to enrich all of our lives. I learned a wonderful trance-inducing meditation practice through a mentorship with somatic psychotherapist Lorella Ricci. I am currently receiving Resonant Healing Coaching from practitioner Josh Blaine.

My first career was as an elementary school art teacher, and it taught me three foundational understandings of how I see the world and how I would go on to help people as a therapist:
I learned that my purpose is to inspire people, and that people are inspired when they are seen for who they really are.
I learned how to identify in my own body when an idea I am communicating is clear or unclear, and this awareness allows me to adjust to each person and transmit healing information in a way that is understandable and effective.
I learned that we adults are just big kids, in need of the same love, care, and attention we needed when our shirt sizes came in small, medium, and extra-small.
I was an art teacher for ten years, working with students from kindergarten to college, with the majority of that time spent at the kindergarten to fifth grade level. There, I founded an art therapy program for autistic kindergarteners. I see my teaching experience as foundational to understanding the human mind as well as the nature of creativity.
As an artist myself, I understand the pressures that the world places on artists and that artists place on themselves. I can uniquely help artists but also those who don't identify as artists. If I could sum up everything that my path has taught me it is this: creative intuition is a vital component of success in this age, and I will help you access the creativity you need to thrive.

Who I Work With
I offer psychotherapy to adolescents, individuals, and couples. I work with Black women and with men and people of all races, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds. I also work with entrepreneurs and founders, and with people caught in over-functioning and people-pleasing patterns—the ones who hold everything together and wonder why it costs so much.
What I Help With
Anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and life transitions. Racial and gender identity concerns, cross-cultural tension, and workplace challenges. Family dynamics, family of origin, and interpersonal and intergenerational trauma. Religious and spiritual trauma, including harm carried out of a church or faith community and the restoration of spiritual sovereignty. Couples work, including partners rebuilding after rupture and partners who have grown quiet with each other.
How I Work
Using an integrated mind-body-soul approach, I accompany clients on the journey of meeting their shadow self with compassion, drawing on their ancestral and somatic wisdom to find their center, and manifesting their most elevated and actualized vision of self. With this heightened attunement to self, clients then have a deeper capacity to turn toward partners, family of origin, or chosen family and move toward energetic alignment.
I have a passion for helping couples. I have completed the Gottman Institute's Level 1 training in the Gottman Method and am in the process of completing Level 2.
What a Session Looks Like with Me
I view psychotherapy as an opportunity for individuals to center themselves and their true nature within their personal healing and growth. This is the starting point for moving through perceived blocks and releasing imposed identities and inauthentic versions of self, so my clients can realize the life of their dreams. As a Panamanian-American woman of Caribbean descent, my Blackness and womanhood are inextricably linked, providing a cultural frame of reference that calls forth the divine feminine energy force within me as a healing companion for my clients. I channel the energy of Black women ancestors who offer themselves as my muses and mirror the goddess within all Black women to cradle them in their healing process. This offers me the vantage point to assist other Black women, as well as men and people of all races, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds, to release the confines that colonialism has created and the turmoil it has wrought upon the bodies, hearts, and minds of all those who have been touched by it. Through co-creating an intentional container where each client can be held in their fullness, I support individuals and couples in reconnecting with their intuition and honoring the somatic and spiritual communications that emerge as indicators of their personal truths. While I serve as a collaborative partner in the therapeutic process, I create space for my clients to be the primary driver in their healing journey—every person is inherently imbued with the inner resources they need to support their wellbeing and to flourish. Our work is just to find these and put them into practice.
How my integrated approach wove together from the threads of many lineages.
I began my professional journey over ten years ago as a social justice educator, facilitating intersectional programming and workshops while supporting college students through their identity exploration process, and completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and American Literature at New York University. While completing a Master of Education degree in Higher Education Administration with a specialization in learning, diversity, and urban studies at Vanderbilt University, I continued supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ college students' identity development and their experience of belonging within academic institutions, while providing crisis counseling in community settings to young people experiencing homelessness. It was in this community space that I adopted a strengths-based, restorative justice approach to supporting individuals experiencing trauma.
After witnessing the impact of interpersonal and intergenerational trauma on the marginalized communities I worked with, as well as within my own community, I decided to acquire the clinical skills necessary to become a more effective healing companion to myself and others, and completed a Master of Arts degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University. During this graduate program, I completed a clinical internship with Therapy Brooklyn, where I learned the value of bringing my social identities into the therapy space with me authentically. The result has been clients connecting with a deep feeling of safety, which offers them the possibility to bring their full humanity into our sessions. My vision for my therapeutic work is to fully embrace an integrated mind-body-soul approach to restore psychological safety, bodily integrity, and spiritual sovereignty to marginalized communities and all individuals moving toward collective liberation.

Who I Work With
I have a particular focus on emerging and young adults, and I especially enjoy working with women, creatives, and healers. I work with people who have experienced psychological, sexual, or spiritual harm within spiritual or religious communities—what is often named religious trauma or spiritual abuse, including harm carried out of a high-demand church, ashram, sangha, or wellness community.
I also work with yoga teachers and longtime practitioners, including those who have been harmed inside wellness and yoga spaces and those for whom traumatic memory has begun to surface through their own practice. When the body opens, it often has something to say, and that can arrive long before there is any language for it.
What I Help With
Anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Trauma, including spiritual, sexual, and intergenerational trauma. Body image and embodiment reclamation. Existential and spiritual stress. Intergenerational and ancestral work. Identity exploration.
How I Work
Alongside talk therapy and within an integrative transpersonal framework, our work may include somatic therapy and somatic awareness, guided visualizations, mindfulness, trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive movement, creative practice, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and meaning-making practices.
I offer a gentle, grounded, and collaborative presence where you can feel deeply seen and supported. I meet you at your own pace as we explore both the light and shadow aspects of your inner world—working to build a more attuned relationship with your body, emotions, intuition, creativity, and play. Our work may also include developing personalized rituals and tools that support your ongoing mental, physical, and spiritual connection to yourself.
My Path to this Work
My work is rooted in a lifelong connection to the integration of mind, body, and soul. Influenced early on by my late mother, who was both a nurse and an energy healer, I was introduced to clinical and holistic approaches to healing—an integration that continues to shape everything I do. Before pursuing formal training, I spent my twenties immersed in learning and applying healing practices with the support of various mentors in yoga, intuitive dance, psychosynthesis coaching, and flower essence therapy. I do not claim a specific lineage, as my work is an integration of these influences that I continue to study, practice, and deepen. I am also committed to the continuous exploration of my own ancestral lineage rooted in my Costa Rican cultural identity.
My holistic studies, coupled with my early academic psychology focus, deepened my understanding of the physical and subtle bodies as powerful gateways to healing, which ultimately led me to NYU, where I completed my M.A. in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness.
My Philosophy
With over ten years of experience exploring various mind, body, and soul approaches to healing, I believe the foundation of sustainable healing starts with the relationship we cultivate with our bodies and breath as our inner anchor. Because the body is a brilliant extension of our unconscious, attuning to it creates an accessible gateway for learning from, healing, and integrating our individual and collective shadows. This work beautifully pairs traditional psychological insights with the wisdom of the body—inviting us into a space of flow, cyclic awareness, and intuitive somatic movement to anchor what we discover in conversation.
My practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive, culturally inclusive lens. I believe that systemic forces create real barriers to healing, and I am committed to providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative care and to continuously evolving my approach to be inclusive and culturally responsive.
