The root of my work is to help you define your duende, the inherent fire and brilliance within every individual. In our work together, we explore the temporary blocks, such as unconscious drives, addictive patterns, and environmental challenges, that can impinge upon this inherent vitality. By integrating talk therapy with deep resourcing, we customize a collaborative approach that provides the specific tools and increased capacity you need for the challenge at hand.

My clinical practice is informed by Contemporary Psychoanalysis, particularly relational and intersubjective schools. I employ a range of modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Contemplative Based Trauma and Resiliency Training (CBTRT), and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT). These frameworks allow for a nuanced exploration of the self and our connections to others, whether in individual work with adults and adolescents or within group facilitation.

I received my MA in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University and serve as a clinical supervisor, where I am passionate about supporting the growth and clinical development of the next generation of therapists. My professional roles span private practice, clinical supervision, and international leadership. As a co-founder of the Climate Emotional Resilience Institute (CERI), I am dedicated to helping individuals and communities navigate the psychological impact of our changing world. My international work extends to supporting mental health workers on the frontlines with the International Center for Mental Health and Human Rights. I am proficient in Spanish and deeply committed to therapeutically serving marginalized populations across diverse cultural landscapes.
