My Story
As a multi-ethnic wellness advocate, I offer equitable counseling and coaching services for individuals, families, and communities in English and Spanish. Coming from a Lebanese, Irish, and Mexican American family, multicultural competence is at the root of my practice.
My love for community, culture, learning, and mindfulness is what brought me to this work. As a past elementary school teacher and community worker, I saw a gap in holistic wellness services for those in my community and beyond. My background in yoga, mindfulness and trauma informed integrative somatics sparked something special in me that I wanted to share. After earning my MEd in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and starting my work as an LPC, I saw the opportunity to offer these unique resources to others by integrating mindfulness into sessions.
About Respira
-
Coaching sessions will take place virtually.
Counseling sessions are offered in person and virtually.
Virtual sessions require a space where you feel comfortable to move about and speak freely.
In both coaching and counseling sessions I use evidence based practices and therapeutic techniques. These practices will be integrated with mindfulness, somatic exercises, and breath to create a holistic experience. All practices use a trauma-informed and multi-culturally competent lens.
