Counseling

You don’t have to do this on your own.

There comes a moment after years of being “the strong one” when the weight of everything you’ve carried finally starts to show.
In your sleep.
In your body.
In the way you brace for things that never happen.

Most people who find me aren’t lost. They’re tired. Their system has been living in survival mode for so long that it doesn’t remember what ease feels like.
If that’s you… I understand that landscape from the inside.

Where This Work Comes From

My approach is shaped just as much by my clinical background as by the years I spent in the Mayan Riviera, immersed in indigenous traditions, cosmologies, and ceremonial ways of healing.

Those teachers showed me that healing doesn’t come from force or pressure.
It comes from being witnessed with reverence in your grief, your shadow, and your quiet strength.
It comes from community, compassion, and remembering who you are beneath all the survival strategies.

Bold Embrace was born from that understanding.

Who I Work With

I work with people whose lives have demanded too much for too long:

  • Trauma stored in the body

  • Grief that moves like weather

  • CPTSD, OCD, depression

  • Survivors of childhood sexual trauma

  • Black sheep, scapegoats, parentified children

  • Women reclaiming their power

  • Teens/young adults finding their own voice

  • Families navigating medical or emotional crisis

  • Couples in ENM/CNM/poly/open structures who want honesty, repair, and clarity

My training spans EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, DBT, CBT, ACT, Gottman, EFT, yoga therapy, Tantra, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, ministry, hospice work  all woven into a grounded, relational approach.

How We Work Together

Therapy with me is not rigid or rushed.
It’s relational, intuitive, and paced by your nervous system  not by pressure or expectation.

We might work with:

  • EMDR, when something still feels stuck

  • Somatic practices, when the body is holding the story

  • Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, when patterns need deeper access

  • Family Constellations, when the past still echoes through your life

  • Mind–body tools, so safety becomes something you feel, not just understand

I offer individual, couples, family, and group therapy.
And something important  Bold Embrace is not just me.
It’s a team of clinicians and guides who work with the same ethos of compassion, integrity, and nervous-system–led care.
I may be the person you see most directly, but you are held by all of us  by a wider circle of support, training, and experience.

If You’re Feeling the Pull

You don’t have to arrive knowing exactly what you need.
Most people don’t.
We discover it together.

We begin with a 20-minute conversation.
No pressure. Just a gentle meeting to feel if we’re the right fit for your healing.

If it feels right, we move slowly…
We build safety…
We let your system open at its own rhythm.

You’ve walked so much of your path alone.
You don’t have to keep doing that.

If something in you is ready for relief, for steadiness, for a different way of living inside your own body  reach out.
We’ll walk the next stretch together.
