You don't need to keep living in survival mode.
You can have a successful life, meaningful relationships, and still feel like you're always "on". Always thinking. Always anticipating. Always planning the next thing.
Many people don't realize how much tension they carry until they finally experience what it feels like to relax.
I help people slow down, feel more connected, and experience more joy in everyday moments by helping their nervous system finally feel safe enough to let go.
So life feels easier. Relationships feel easier. And you can actually enjoy being here.

Hi, I’m Yolanda
My work focuses on helping people experience a level of ease and connection that often hasn't felt fully accessible before.
Many of the people with whom I work are thoughtful and deeply self-aware. They've built meaningful lives and successful careers, but internally, their nervous system has remained in a state of subtle tension.
As our work progresses, clients often describe profound shifts. Their relationships feel easier and they feel more attuned. They notice themselves feeling more joy, feeling more open, and experiencing moments of genuine ease that previously felt out of reach.
They describe feeling more connected to themselves and others, more grounded and present in their lives.
This work focuses on resolving nervous system patterns that unconsciously shape how safe, connected, and relaxed a person is able to feel in their own body and in their relationships.
Clients I work with frequently report:
- Feeling more grounded and present
- Experiencing more secure relationships
- Less overthinking and internal pressure
- Greater emotional stability and resilience
- The ability to be present instead of constantly anticipating
- More access to joy, connection, and a sense of wellbeing
When your nervous system changes - everything changes - how you feel, how you relate, and how you experience your life.

Ready to work with me?
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner®, and trauma and attachment specialist with advanced training in somatic touch work and nervous system-based healing modalities.
My training includes Somatic Experiencing®, Brainspotting, EMDR, Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experience (DARe), and Somatic Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists with Kathy Kain. I have assisted at workshops and retreats with Dr. Peter Levine through Ergos Institute and helped assist Equine Assisted Somatic Experiential (EASE) at Equinimity in Tucson, AZ.
In addition to my clinical practice, I taught psychology at Northern Arizona University and Community College, and wrote Attuned and Attached, my first book to help people feel safer and more connected in relationships.
This combination of clinical training, teaching, advanced somatic work, and a humanistic relational approach allows me to work with subtle nervous system patterns that are often not accessible through traditional approaches alone.
