I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, welcoming clients locally out of Scottsdale, AZ and globally. Here's a little bit about me to give you a sense of where I orient from.
My parents are from Ecuador. They hired two Indian nannies to help raise eight children. My upbringing exposed me early to cultural diversity and an amazing range of perspectives between life in the US from that of a third world country. My earth school lessons started early, bouncing back and forth between countries, cultures, languages and all the nuances of socialization in schools, religion and family.
Belonging is something I observed and questioned at a very early age.
My sense of separateness and not belonging began my journey as a seeker. Ironically, my formal education took me further into analysis and away from the union and sense of connection I was seeking.
I credit pain as my greatest teacher. It got my attention and wore me down until I surrendered, over and over again. My circumstances may be different from yours but at some point in life, it seems resistance, denial or suppression of pain is no longer possible and we break open.
I've studied the Eastern and Western approaches to healing as well as embodied practices that have proven to awaken the sacred within. They work. But the discipline to implement them lies within each of us. I am in process like the rest of us and hope my process helps you in navigating yours.
Breath work, inquiry, meditation, yoga, plant medicine, nature walks are practices I use to bring my consciousness into the body where I find my freedom from the mind. I feel connected to my heart, mySelf and experience a sense of belonging, well-being and connection. It feels like I'm safe inside, at home.
I've been counseling, coaching and teaching in the field of psychology for 40 years and am versed in various modalities, however, my primary focus and true calling is to awaken the spirit within, to help you connect with your heart and convince you to trust it to guide your life.
I speak Spanish, the language of the subconscious, facilitate The Work of Byron Katie, incorporate the new modalities in energy psychology including hypnotherapy, EMDR, Emotional Freedom Tapping, Holotropic Breath work, Yoga, Shamanic Reiki, sound healing, my new personal favorite, integrating plant medicine.
I meet clients in my home, over the internet, in parks, lakes, gardens and lead an embodiment class to those interested in adding a community of like-minded warriors to support their journey.

My greatest teachers in this earth school have been my children.
