Licensed Clinical Social Worker · Washington State
Partnering with individuals and groups to grow our innate resilience and support healing from individual, collective, and intergenerational trauma — through somatic, integrative, and justice-informed care.
Through compassion and respect, I partner with my clients to create a healing space where you are welcome to bring your whole self and connect with your medicine.
I practice a resiliency-informed and trauma-informed type of therapy that honors the role of the body, mind, and heart in healing. I support my clients in identifying their embodied strengths and calling on these inner resources when stressors arise.
Oftentimes we can't think our way to wellness. This is where taking a more integrative and holistic approach can help us lean into the wisdom inherent in the body — where our long-held patterns are stored. I weave mind-body practices into our work together as they serve your healing.
Currently offering sessions online to clients in Washington State.
Reach Out to StartI am a licensed clinical social worker in Washington State and have worked at the intersections of community wellness, education, and healthcare equity for over 20 years.
I am passionate about supporting people healing from individual, collective, systemic, and intergenerational trauma — and about growing our innate resilience from the wisdom each of us already embodies.
I draw intimately from my own healing journey to support the liberation of all. My experience as a cis-gender, queer, first generation US-born Latina, and trauma survivor guides my path towards radical compassion, integrity, and justice.
My training is focused on the philosophies, theories, and practices that have nourished me — including healing justice, social justice, embodied resilience, somatics, and yoga.
I am honored to be in this work, and I hold deep gratitude for the trust my clients practice with me, as well as admiration for their courage in pursuing healing.
Consent
Your voluntary decision to engage in healing in ways that feel safe for you is the most important part of our relationship. You never have to talk about anything you don't want to.
Social Justice
Individual healing and the healing of communities who have experienced collective trauma are inextricably linked. Social justice is central to my practice.
Strengths & Resilience
Everything you need for healing is already inside of you. My focus is not on diagnosing what's wrong but on exploring what's working — celebrating your strengths and growing your innate resilience.
Interdependence
Our need for connection is a real physiological drive — as is our need for personal integrity and independence. Attending to the balance of these forces is essential for wellbeing.
Intersectionality
Each of us embodies a unique constellation of identities that impacts our sense of self and how we move through the world. Our conversations may touch on how identity has shaped your experiences.
Mind-Body Integration
Both body and mind are integral to wellness. A mind-body approach honors the wisdom of the body alongside cognitive understanding, increasing awareness of our stress response and inner resources.
Non-Judgmental
You are a complete and whole person, just as you are. I do not judge others for their choices or their histories. My priority is always your safety and wellbeing, as well as that of our community.
Sex Positive
Sexuality is a part of who we are as humans. Sexual orientation, gender identity, ethical non-monogamy, kink, or healing from sexual trauma are all welcomed topics in our sessions.

Embodied Resilience & Justice
An online course for healthcare providers exploring our relationship with the nervous system as a path to liberation — reclaiming the body as a source of internal wisdom and justice, so we can better regulate our stress responses, build capacity for the work, and stay responsive to our own needs and those of the communities we serve. 2 CEs available for nurses upon completion.
