I have in persnon available in Long Beach, CA. Please send message through my website. I specialize in working with people who experience mind-body disconnection, energetic blockages, and mind and spirit depletion/overwhelm. This can look or feel like high functioning anxiety, deep sadness, irritability, dysfunctional relationships, avoidance of emotions, autopilot functioning, senseless purpose, hyperindependence, guilt, shame, overthinking, or a sense of unhappiness. I help Latinx/Chicanx adolescents and adults navigate intergenerational traumas, cultural distress, and family dynamics to restore personal freedom and reconnect with their authentic true selves. I will guide you through discovering your own healing and personal freedom by using intuition, energy healing, and indigenous practices and knowledge.
In our first session, well will start with brief introductions and usual legal stuff I have to review. Once you provide that verbal consent, we have a conversation about whats been going on that brought you in to therapy. I offer to you the tools that I carry thank can potentially help you in your journey. The rest is history.
My strongest areas are working with Latinx, Chicanx, first gen/or first-time therapy seekers who are willing to open up their hearts and be seen. My biggest strengths include helping you understand your environment, mind and body and how those two are contributing to your mental health.
I work best with Latinx, Chicanx, first generation, adults that are open to unlearning ways of thinking and patterns that are hurting, and who are open to incorporating ancestral and alternative approaches to their mental and spiritual health.
This is more than an approach. This is a lens that is on throughout our work together. Trauma is experienced at different levels, intensities, it can be suppressed and away in our subconscious, therefore having a "lookout" in our work together is critical.
As a latina, working with mi gente. This is a part of our life. This isn't a therapy type, it is a way of living and connecting to your values, traditions, and cultural background and identity. It is critical and one of the most important parts of our work together, is your culture. We will discuss culture strengths, fears, trauma and more.
Understanding the human brain and the reasons for our thoughts, behaviors and actions is an important part of our human work. I use this method when trying to understand our subconscious, unconscious and even dreams. We explore parts that are beyond what we can see.
