My work is grounded in both lived experience and professional training in mental health and healing.
I hold a degree in Counseling Psychology and have training in mental health support and mindfulness-based practices.
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in creating safe, accessible spaces for individuals and communities—especially those from immigrant and underserved backgrounds.
While I am not currently practicing as a licensed therapist in the United States, my work draws deeply from therapeutic principles, including:
My goal is to bridge the gap between mental health, culture, and community healing—so that care is not only clinical, but lived, accessible, and felt in everyday life.
I partner with organizations, healthcare providers, and community groups to offer:
The offerings below are all part of this approach—bringing mental health into the body, into community, and into spaces where people already are.
Nuna creates trauma-informed wellness spaces through movement, mindfulness, storytelling, and collective healing practices. Her work is rooted in years of supporting survivors of sexual violence and domestic violence, particularly within immigrant and multicultural communities.
Over time, she began recognizing the emotional weight carried not only by survivors, but also by the people supporting them. Today, her work also focuses on caregivers, advocates, doulas, educators, nonprofit workers, and helping professionals experiencing burnout, emotional exhaustion, and secondary trauma.
“She made the room feel like home — and then she moved us.”
Nuna facilitates trauma-informed, community-based mental health spaces where people can come as they are — to breathe, to speak, to be witnessed, and to reconnect with themselves.
Her circles are grounded in both lived experience and mental health practice, holding space for the realities people carry — immigration, grief, violence, loss, and the quiet weight of navigating multiple worlds.
These are not performances. They are real, human spaces where healing happens through presence, conversation, and connection.
She also works with caregivers, frontline staff, and professionals who hold others every day and need space to be held themselves.
Nuna brings healing into nature through ecotherapy-informed and trauma-aware practices, creating spaces where people can reconnect — not only with themselves, but with the world around them.
Her work recognizes that for many immigrant and communities of color, outdoor spaces have not always felt safe or accessible. She intentionally creates experiences that shift that relationship — making nature feel welcoming, grounding, and healing.
In nature, something opens. Conversations deepen. The body softens. And healing becomes more possible.
“There is something that opens in people when they step outside. The trees hold things the room can’t.”
“There is something that opens in people when they step outside. The trees hold things the room can’t.”
Whether it’s a yoga class, a healing circle, or an outdoor session — tell Nuna what your community needs.
