About
Feeling fully alive is important, yet many of us have learned to numb out because of pain, trauma or shame that we experienced growing up in our families, schools and communities. Or, we had to learn to be "cool" in order to survive in this society. Unfortunately, this armoring can cause us to lose our authenticity and aliveness. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Certified Radix® Body-Centered Personal Growth Practitioner with many years of experience working with individuals and groups to help people heal, love themselves and others more, and live their lives more fully. I love working with people from diverse cultural and spiritual backgrounds, sexual orientations and abilities, with a special focus on intersectionalities and identity issues. My practice and teaching focus on culturally competent counseling and combines an emotion-focused, psychodynamic orientation, with somatic and compassion/mindfulness therapies. My professional background also includes working with stress and anxiety using HeartMath® Emotional Management techniques and other strategies. As a university professor, I teach multicultural counseling and social justice education, including practicum and supervision courses in the San Diego area.
