Nope! But I specialize in supporting bodies of culture because I have lived experience that informs my approach to BIPOC. This can't be taught. It is innate and this can create sacred safety in healing spaces.

I ALSO specialize in supporting:

• Highly sensitive souls, intuitives, and people who may have been encouraged to shut down their spiritual and ancestral gifts in childhood.
• People who need a refreshing approach to healing work because they have been discouraged or disenchanted by this field one too many times. You won’t get the “therapist voice” here.
• Other healers. Most of my clients are therapists, teachers and high achieving leaders in their field. They have multiple degrees and diplomas, but they struggle with the rest and digest part of life.
• People who feel drawn to the natural world, and want to deepen their relationship to Natureza.
• LGBTQ! I am currently enrolled in Jess Romeo’s Transcend Competency Course for gender-affirming providers to deepen my ability to support trans & gender diverse couples, or parents of trans & gender diverse kids.

Brainspotting is a type of trauma therapy intervention that works the same part of the brain as EMDR, which is much more commonly known. The mantra of brainspotting is that “where you look affects how you feel.” So in a brainspotting session, we harness your field of vision into an activation spot, or “brainspot” that allows you to resolve a trauma deeply and quickly. It is a type of trauma processing that I love because you can learn to do it on yourself.

Brainspotting can occur virtually and is even more powerful when done with nature’s co-facilitation. If you are interested in doing focused trauma processing, check out my brainspotting intensives offering!

To dive deeper into the differences between Brainspotting and EMDR, enjoy this video by the woman who trained me, Tracy Gantlin Monroy.

Ecotherapy is not new. The way that I invite people to engage in this practice is more about remembering our collective indigeneity and this Indigenous way of moving through the world... as a part of nature.

In my work with people, our ecotherapy sessions are done outdoors, in attunement with the local land and guides who show up to support people any given day. We might walk, or sit, or wander together as a means of discovering different experiences of ourselves in nature. We can also engage in ecotherapy practices indoors, using nature objects, spiritual practices, and rich ancestral memory.

Ecotherapy as a "modality" is part of the Mental Health Industrial Complex. As a result, the Western approaches to this practice are often white washed, decontextualized, and based on extraction from nature for human benefit. As a field, Ecotherapy is often problematic and harmful, particularly for QTBIPOC people who don't often feel represented by the people offering the service. Ecotherapy and the field of Ecopsychology calls human's disconnection from nature "the original trauma", while often falling short to name why the disconnection exists in the first place. Colonial trauma, forced removal, displacement, and centuries of genocide against black, brown and Indigenous people.

As a healer who tends to the roots of things, I will always be aware of this dis-ease from within this work. And it is precisely what I aim to disrupt, call out and change so that people of all backgrounds can reclaim their rightful place in the natural world.
