After working with people who’ve experienced trauma and loss, especially those dealing with culture or identity stress, I’ve learned that turning towards the hurt, slowly and gently, the residue of the painful experience shifts. Softening, flexibility, and openness enters and creates new possibilities. 

Trauma and grief live in the body, making you feel like you’re not you any more. It can feel overwhelming, scary, impossible, stuck. My own trauma and grief led me to this work. As a Latine, queer, AFAB person, I know how marginalization can intensify trauma and loss as well as be the source of those wounds. I’ve learned that relief is possible through being in relationship with what trauma and grief bring up.

I’m collaborative and curious. I support you to tune into challenges, develop coping skills, and explore the underlying layers to the beliefs and patterns that are getting in the way.

Outside of the therapy space, I enjoy hiking, knitting, quilting, trying apothecary recipes, and spending time with family and friends.

If this sounds like the kind of support you're looking for, let’s connect.

  • I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents. Sessions are typically 55 minutes. I provide virtual, in office, and walk-and-talk options.

    I typically provide long-term therapy, meaning we work together as long as we need to. If you are interested in meeting for only 6-12 sessions, let me know and we can come up with a plan together.

    I use body-based, parts, mindfulness, and contemplative modalities. My work is collaborative, client-centered, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-informed.

  • You don’t have to. I’ll follow your lead. You get to say “no”, “not yet”, “not that”.  The parts that cue you to slow down or move away from certain experiences have wisdom. We will hear them with no agenda and without pushing past them.

  • Try it. Typically within six sessions you’ll have a sense if the approach is a good fit and if I’m a good fit. You’re not committed to staying. And we get to talk about how its going, what is working and what isn’t. If I’m not the right fit, I am happy to provide you with recommendations and referrals.

  • $150/ 55-minute session. I offer sliding scale based on accessibility needs. I accept HSA/FSA as well.

  • Yes! I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Kaiser, Select Health, UnitedHealth, and Medicaid (CCHA) insurance.

    If you use Medicaid, I can help you determine which region your in and walk you through the process.

    For all other insurances, I am happy to provide you with a benefits check (its free) so you know if you have an copays, coinsurances, or out-of-pocket costs.

  • I reserve space for people who are uninsured or underinsured requiring and a low-cost pathway for therapy through Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. (These client slots are currently full.)

    I also accept Medicaid. If you think you may qualify for Medicaid, please visit Health First Colorado for more information.

  • Unfortunately, the design of the current health care system does not offer an ideal set up for clients nor clinicians. The cost of a session includes more than just the 55 minutes that we meet together. It includes training, consultation, research, administrative tasks, billing, marketing, bookkeeping, accounting, care coordination, vacation time, and sick time. It is a rate that allows me to meet my daily living needs and sustain my wellbeing in order to continue to provide counseling services.

    I strive to fill in the gap the system creates by providing low-cost options, sliding scale options, accepting insurance options, including Medicaid. If cost is a concern, please email or call me to discuss options.
