About me

As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor since 2005, I bring nearly two decades of experience integrating creative arts, somatic depth psychology, and neuroscience into my therapeutic practice. My deep connection to my multicultural heritage—rooted in my father’s Mayan Indian heritage from Guatemala and my mother’s German descent—profoundly shapes my approach to healing.
My journey began in the 1990s, working with traumatized children through art, dance, and music, and evolved through training in neurofeedback and neuroscience. I hold dual master’s degrees in Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy, and a doctoral degree in Somatic Depth Psychology. My research focuses on healing historical trauma in indigenous communities by reconnecting with traditional cultures.
My professional background spans diverse settings including hospitals, jails, schools, and treatment centers, allowing me to support individuals across a broad spectrum of ages, backgrounds, and needs. Whether you seek guidance through serious mental health challenges or simply need someone to talk to, I offer a non-judgmental, empathetic ear to help you navigate your journey.
I believe in the inherent ability of each person to find their true path and meaning in life. Drawing on collective ancestral wisdom, and understanding the importance of intimacy, community, and holistic well-being, I strive to help individuals connect with their authentic selves and maintain balance across mind, body, and spirit. In today’s world, where isolation and pressure are prevalent, reconnecting with oneself and one’s community is crucial for health and happiness.
I look forward to hearing your story and supporting you in your path to health and wellness.

In the month I’ve started with Dr. Rodriguez I’ve been able to feel more aware and happier with myself and my own emotions. She’s really such a great help and I’m excited to see how much progress I’ll continue to see further along in me working with her.

Dr. Rodriguez is easy to talk to and understand. She has a really great ability to show you (instead of tell you) what is troubling you. I appreciate her gentle directions and explanations but most of all that she is realistic and genuine in her conversations.

Dr. Rodriguez helped me through a very traumatic time in my life. Her expertise showed immediately, as she showed compassion (that I needed) and guided me through various stages that I was going through. Her guidance was spot on. She was very responsive. I am so grateful to have her in my corner. :)
