What if your body already knows the way forward and simply needs the right guide to listen?

That question is at the heart of my work. As a trauma therapist, coach, and creator of The Maduro Method, I help clients reconnect with their nervous systems and release trauma held in the body. My work supports people in building lives rooted in clarity, resilience, and authentic connection by working with both the mind and the body.

My path to this work was anything but linear. I began my career at George Washington University, rising from intern to Acting Director of Career Counseling while earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I later spent more than two decades as a consultant, entrepreneur, and team leader, building cross-cultural partnerships across startups, midsize companies, and global institutions in development, technology, and design. My work included roles at the World Bank Group and the International Finance Corporation, along with collaborations with organizations such as BMW, Gucci, Endemol, BET, and NBC.

Those experiences ultimately deepened my understanding of how people navigate pressure, identity, and belonging across cultures. What those years revealed had little to do with strategy. Beneath every boardroom conversation and cross-cultural negotiation, people are often searching for the same things: meaning, belonging, and the freedom to be fully themselves. That insight became the foundation of everything I do as a healer.

I am a certified 500-hour yoga practitioner, and my approach draws on somatic awareness alongside evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Narrative Therapy, TRM, IFS, CBT, and DBT. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents, and I hold particular commitment to supporting BIPOC, AAPI, Filipinx, and LGBTQIA+ communities, people who have often found that mainstream therapy does not fully see them.

Based between Los Angeles and Park City, I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to every session. As a mother, dog lover, and traveler, I believe lasting change rarely arrives all at once. It comes through small, intentional shifts made consistently over time, helping you move from surviving to truly thriving.

If something in these words resonates, I would love to connect.
