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.

I am well aware of the systems that strengthen us and those that oppress us. The communities we come from, the bodies we live in, and the histories we carry all shape what feels safe, possible, and meaningful in this work. My practice is built to hold that complexity and meet each person within it. I am committed to providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative care and to continuously evolving my approach to be inclusive and culturally responsive.
