Dance / Movement Therapists in Oxnard, CA

Healing isn't about fixing what's wrong with you - there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is permission to your nervous system to experience the safety, support, and connection it may have missed earlier in life. When the body begins to feel safe, many symptoms that once seemed unrelated can begin to make sense. Then you begin to heal and develop into your full potential. I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. I help you make sense of complex experiences that seem disconnected so you can heal into wholeness.

The Connection Clinic is a vibrant collective of practitioners committed to providing safe, empowering care to individuals impacted by systemic and historical oppressions. We understand that many people experience misalignments in traditional mental health spaces, and we strive to create an environment where healing happens in community, fostering support, connection, and growth for both clients and providers.Our approach prioritizes decolonizing care and collaboration: therapists rarely work in isolation, ensuring that every client benefits from the combined perspectives and expertise of our team. We consult with one another, share recommendations, and coordinate care across family or community needs when appropriate. This collaborative model ensures that every client feels known, seen, and supported by The Connection Clinic, receiving the insight and care of a well-rounded team, something that truly sets us apart from other systems of care. If you are facing mental health challenges or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, we invite you to connect with us.

With compassion, presence and warmth, I am here to be your partner and guide on your growth journey. I partner with you to heal emotional trauma and gain self-acceptance through my specialized mind-body approach. I support you through healing limiting beliefs about yourself, developing excellent boundaries, and connecting with your inner-wisdom. You are unique and so is your therapy process, so we tailor our work together to your specific needs and goals. I serve empaths and highly sensitive people, supporting you in coming home to who you really are. Somatic. LGBTQ+. Internal Family Systems. Check out my TEDx talk via my website!

Are you experiencing communication challenges in your relationships? Challenges with sex or intimacy? Are you questioning or exploring gender and sexuality? I am here to support you and offer you tools and a place to process your current experience. I provide a safe space to explore who you are becoming and to discern old thought patterns that are no longer of service. I provide a healing space free of judgement and offer tools that you can immediately integrate into your current experience. I will collaborate with you and work with the intersections of your unique experience.

I believe that we all have the capacity to heal. I take a trauma-informed, body-based, and spiritually grounded approach to working with clients. I have experience working with clients (primarily women) from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide you with resources to utilize in your everyday life. As Carl Jung states, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become".

Oxnard is Ventura County's largest city and a predominantly Hispanic agricultural and industrial center — the county is one of California's most productive strawberry, lemon, and vegetable growing regions — with a therapy community deeply shaped by the experiences of farmworker families navigating immigration stress, seasonal income volatility, and limited English-language access to mainstream mental health services. The city's proximity to Naval Base Ventura County creates additional demand for military-oriented therapists alongside the largely Latino civilian therapy market. St. John's Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources for the area, while the therapy community overall remains relatively sparse relative to the city's population. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists perform essential access work in a city where language barriers significantly limit engagement with standard English-language mental health care.
