Empowering Your Journey to Reclaim Control of YOUR Life

Hi, I’m Marcella! I’m not just a Certified Trauma Therapist with over 13 years of experience; I’m also a single mom and a real person who faces everyday stress just like you. I understand firsthand how unresolved trauma can leave you carrying lingering beliefs like self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the feeling of always being the fixer. Work stress, compassion fatigue, and the weight of life’s demands can feel overwhelming, and I get it because I’ve been there too.

As a former executive at a large San Antonio nonprofit, I supported high-performing therapists in high-pressure environments, focusing on emotional intelligence to help them navigate the stress of their work. I’ve seen how these pressures impact emotional and physical well-being, especially when mixed with life transitions, grief, and past unresolved trauma.

I’m passionate about helping hard working adults like you rediscover balance. It’s not just about self-care; it’s about maintaining healthy boundaries, releasing those lingering negative beliefs, and reconnecting with what truly drives you. Together, we’ll work on practical strategies to regulate your nervous system, manage stress, and empower you to feel more in control long-term.

• Certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT) (2017)

• EMDR Trained Therapist (2021)

I’m here to guide you on your journey to wellness. Let’s take that first step together!

My core values of empathy, balance, and resilience shape a supportive space where clients can heal, grow, and feel empowered to regain control of their lives.
