I came to this work with a conviction in the value of being curious about ourselves, as well as an awareness of the mixture of hope and fear that so often accompanies our curiosity, and the importance of an empathic partner and witness on the road. 

I have a bachelor's in molecular biology from Yale University. I graduated with a masters in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I did a pre-graduate internship in integrated behavioral health in a primary care setting and a post-graduate internship in private practice with a focus on grief and chronic pain and illness. I completed a one-year program in psychoanalytic studies through the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. I am a candidate in adult psychoanalysis at the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies. 

I have an interest in trauma and have co-authored a chapter on the neurobiology of trauma for a crisis and trauma counseling textbook

I am Mexican-American and am conversant in Spanish.
