H E A L I N G  V I B R A Z

I am originally from Aguascalientes, Mexico raised in Renton/Skyway, WA, Occupied Duwamish Territory.  I am a bi-cultural, bilingual, undocumented/DACA-recipient Mexican immigrant woman (pronouns: she/her/hers/ella). I am passionate about systemic change, healing intergenerational trauma, social justice, learning, community healing, music, aesthetic/style as a form of expression, food, poetry, travel, exercise/body movement, and all-around creativity.

​

I completed my Bachelors degree in Psychology with a minor in family studies at Central Washington University and Masters in clinical social work from the University of Washington. Much of my experience comes from working with communities of color from different age groups and backgrounds in various capacities for over 10 years. More specifically communities with roots to Latin America and the immigrant experience. Working in community has allowed me to bear witness to how trauma shows up and the barriers that exist to heal and care for our mental wellness. My recent work consisted in supporting sexual assault survivors of all ages during my 3+ years at a sexual assault resource center in King County as a bilingual trauma-focused therapist. My experience in the mental health system, activism, case-management, working with families and youth, as well as my own personal healing journey led me to create  H E A L I N G  V I B R A Z  which promotes healing and mental wellness through a social justice and liberation-based perspective. In my work I aim to normalize mental wellness and increase accessibility for individual and collective community healing.
