I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, based out of Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona welcoming clients locally and globally.
I was raised by Ecuadorian parents and two uneducated, monolingual Indian nannies that provided me a wonderful childhood and an amazing range in perspective. I've been a student of life for as long as i can remember, naturally curious and inquisitive, especially in the dynamics of human behavior. My earth school lessons started early, bouncing back and forth between countries, cultures, languages and the rules of engagement.
I paid attention and did what I could to gain a sense of belonging but it wasn't always available to me. In many ways this loss in connection began my journey seeking understanding and relief of the angst I couldn't put my finger on. I studied psychology from teachers, texts, gurus and hundreds of self help books but only came to understand this pain from becoming whole. The mind is under-qualified for the job. It just spins itself into knots and layers itself with conceptual understanding. I found well-being in my body.
Finding that connection within is a process of slowing down, connecting to the breath and grounding the energy within. Peeling back the layers of mind stuff, conditioning, limiting beliefs, programs and narratives is part of the work. But finding and committing to a practice of coming into the body is what sustained me throughout. Life seems to know exactly what experiences I needed to get my attention and it did just that.
My intention now is to support myself by shining the light of awareness on the unconscious patterns with compassion, let go and move on. I've come to see guilt and shame as just another layer of innocent confusion waiting to be felt and released. Painful, as well as liberating, it has become my strength and inspiration in offering support to others.
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 in you and support you as you transcend the circumstances of your life. It's not easy breaking free but it's the most rewarding work you'll ever do.
I speak Spanish, the language of the subconscious, facilitate The Work of Byron Katie, work with the new energy psychology modalities including hypnotherapy, EMDR, Emotional Freedom Tapping, Yoga, Shamanic Reiki, toning.
...and consider it an honor to do this work with you.

When I'm not partnering with clients to help them
rise and shine, I'm practicing yoga, spending time in nature, concocting high vibration foods and hanging out with my family.
My greatest teachers in this earth school are my children.
