Hi! I’m MO.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, but you can also call me a self- (re)discovery guide. I help people who want to reconnect with themselves, others and their surroundings but can’t because their past experiences and narratives are getting in their way. 

I know from my own experience that being vulnerable with someone else can be awkward and tough at times. But I also know how healing and rewarding it can be to let yourself be seen by others. My goal is to provide you with a safe, comfortable and calm space where you can show up as your full, authentic self. My non-judgemental therapy room is a place for exploration, curiosity and healing at your comfort level. 

I believe that the mind and body are interconnected and we cannot work with just one. What we do not acknowledge will persist. Through specific somatic modalities, like Somatic Experiencing, Nature Therapy, Internal Family Systems and other approaches, we are able to reconnect to our true selves. We have so many messages and experiences in life that cause a disconnect from our head and our heart- but we also have the power to remember and enrich the symbiotic relationship between all parts of ourselves. When we are in alignment, we can manage and challenge unhelpful anxious thoughts, regulate our nervous system and build meaningful relationships based on genuine connection. I truly believe that you have all the answers inside you already and that through somatic approaches, in safe spaces- you can unlock your full healing potential. 

As a Queer and Latina therapist, I am passionate about supporting other people of color and LGBTQI+ folks with struggles specific to those identities and experiences.

I am excited to help you reconnect with the parts of you that got lost along the way and to discover the parts of you that are waiting to reveal themselves.
