Hello, and thank you for checking out my profile! I am fully invested in providing a welcoming environment that promotes and embodies diversity and inclusivity for all. Currently working with Texas residents only. I am LGBTQIA2S+ allied, non-binary ally, BIPOC allied, racial justice allied, neurodiversity allied, disability ally, cancer survivorship ally, and a strong supporter of racial healing, transformative justice, and social change. I am not here to fix you because you are not broken. I am here to empower you to uncover your answers and facilitate your self-healing. Everything that I offer aims at guiding you to the core of who you really are. To support you, I incorporate values of freedom of expression, respect for uniqueness and choice, and I utilize embodiment and energy medicine practices, intuition, and imagination as facilitating instruments to identify and move beyond obstacles. I see the body as a powerful instrument for healing the mind and soul. With a background in somatic counseling psychology (body psychotherapy & dance movement therapy), kundalini yoga, mindfulness, meditation, qi gong, ancestral healing practices, and conscious dance movement, I offer a relational and intuitive style that blends creativity with honest, straightforward guidance. My work is holistic and conscious, soul-centered coaching-informed. To address trauma I enjoy working with Somatic Experiencing (SE), ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), and Imagery Therapy. We would work with trauma on a short-term basis with the intention to gently guide you through a focused healing journey that can help you with challenges such as: • Emotion Regulation • Anxiety and Depression • Accountability/Self-Responsibility/Transitioning from Victim to Victor • PTSD-Trauma/Soul Wound • LGBTQIA2S+ (systemic discrimination, stigma, lack of acceptance, etc.) • Cultural Affirmation & Responsiveness • Racial & Ancestral Identity Healing Race (systemic discrimination, stigma, lack of acceptance due to race, ethnicity, or skin color) • Current political climate (profound emotional, physical, and psychological distress caused by current political events that trigger past personal traumas, often manifesting as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, helplessness, rage, shock, numbness, physical aches, etc.) • Self-Esteem, Self-Compassion & Self-Forgiveness • HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) • Codependency • Coping Skills • Self-Esteem • Emotional Distress Syndrome of ADHD • Life Transitions "Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the triggering event itself. They stem from the frozen residue of energy that has not been resolved and discharged; this residue remains trapped in the nervous system where it can wreak havoc on our bodies and spirits." ~ Peter Levine My ultimate goal is to help you “live on purpose” and to remind you that you have a place here, on earth, and in the universe; that you belong. To get there, to reclaim your wholeness, it is imperative to welcome all of yourself; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Consequently, to call back all of the parts of your soul that ultimately belong to you, takes inner work that integrate body, mind, heart, and spirit. Together we can explore new pathways to wellness and personal growth. I am committed to soulful work that empowers and reconnects you to your inner wisdom. All of my offerings are meant to integrate various holistic healing practices in order to orient you in taking more charge of your personal journey. My passion is to facilitate whole person healing; let me know if you would like me to support yours.
