"Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion."
- bell hooks
Hey! I'm Savannah.
Who I Am:
My lived experience growing up in California as a queer Mexican-American woman learning to navigate multiple worlds and identities at once has contributed to my unapologetically feminist-, trauma- and social justice-informed approach to care.
My career has been characterized by working in community mental health, crisis response, and criminal justice system diversion, and I've supported people through some of their hardest moments. I've learned that sustainable growth doesn't come from "fixing" ourselves, but rather from remembering and re-learning who we are underneath all of our coping and survival mechanisms.
Today, I work with people who want to rework old narratives, rebuild self-trust, create values-aligned rather than performative lives, and heal from what's kept them small.
