I believe that each person has an intrinsic drive to heal. Our work together will be tailored to your specific needs. The frequency in which we meet will be up to you. 

Couples/Family and Relational Work:

Relational work is offered to a maximum of 3 family members at once. My intention is to facilitate conversations through a transformative justice lens and exploration of our nervous systems. 

Transformative justice is a political framework and approach for responding to violence, harm and abuse. It seeks to respond to violence without creating and/or engaging in harm reduction to lessen the violence. This is an abolitionist framework that understands systems such as prisons, police and I.C.E as sites where enormous amounts of violence take place and as systems that were created to be inherently violent in order to maintain social control. 

Though relational work and transformative justice lens, we can reflect of the following questions: 

  1. What kinds of community infrastructure can we create to support more safety, transparency, sustainability and care? 
  2. What do survivors and people who have caused harm need? 
  3. What are some of the harmful ways that we treat each other that help set the stage for violence and abuse, and how can we change this? 

Immigration Evaluations:

  • U Visa, T Visa and VAWA

There are a variety of reasons and scenarios when immigration evaluations are needed.

The evaluations usually consist of two-to-three meetings. I typically send reports to attorneys (or directly to clients, when applicable) within 10-15 business days after meeting with clients.

An introduction to techniques, modalities and services we provide:

Brainspotting

This is the heading

Brainspotting is a neuro-experiential, relational, brain-body and effective mindfulness-based treatment. It can be a way to heal the brain and the body by tapping into the body’s natural self-scanning and self-healing ability. Brainspotting can access the deeper places within the brain quicker and more effectively than traditional talk therapies. Brainspotting can help process trauma, improve emotions, reduce pain, and more.

IFS believes that we are all made up of several parts including emotions, thoughts, energy, physical sensations, memories and flashbacks living within us.

IFS is a non-pathologizing evidence-based approach that allows us to understand personal and intimate relationships.

Somatics describes any practice that uses the mind,body and spirit connection that helps to listen to body signals about areas of pain, discomfort and imbalance.
