I am deeply committed to understanding and addressing the diverse experiences and identities that shape our work together. This includes issues related to age, arrest background, class, color, conviction record, culture, disability, ethnicity, family configurations, gender identity and expression, housing status, im/migration status, language, marital status, medical conditions, military service, national origin, personal lived experiences, political beliefs, race, relationship status, religious beliefs, sex, sexual orientation, size, socioeconomic status, substance use, past trauma, and veteran status.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values in my practice as a certified clinical trauma professional, integrative somatic trauma, therapist, and professional educational consultant/speaker. I am passionate about creating a more equitable and just world, and I recognize the need for a collective and radical shift in how cultural, economic, educational, gender, political, and societal systems of privilege, oppression, and displacement are addressed.

Together, we can work toward

democratizing and decolonizing counseling and healing,

creating a more inclusive, empowering space for all.

Colorado Springs is situated on the traditional homeland and unceded territory of many Native American and Indigenous Nations, including the Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, and the Kapuuta and Mouache bands of the Nuuchiu Nation.

I honor the ancestors, animal medicine, land, people, traditions, and wisdom of these Native communities. I also acknowledge the teachings and guidance of my childhood ally and lifelong imaginal mentor, Mr. Concha, a Navajo elder who served as my school bus driver for many years. His stories about his ancestors, family, land, and traditions, along with his teachings on interconnection, have deeply shaped both my personal and professional life. Through his wisdom, I learned to see the world through a lens of unity and shared knowledge, a perspective that continues to guide my work and worldview today.

At InnerVision Resources, LLC, our work is guided by core values that shape our trauma/resilience-informed, client-centered approach and our commitment to creating a more equitable and just world.

These values inform both our individual and collective practices at the local, national, and international levels:

• Accountability: We are responsive to those we serve, ensuring transparent management of resources and maintaining a commitment to providing equal access to quality services and products. Trust, openness, and honesty guide all our communications and relationships.

We also seek partnerships with affiliates, stakeholders, and organizations who share our mission, allowing us to expand our collective impact and achieve stronger outcomes for individuals and communities.
   
• Diversity/Equity/Inclusivity: We are committed to providing equal access to all services and products while continuously educating ourselves on the issues diverse populations face. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to our ongoing professional development and essential to supporting marginalized communities. We aim to democratize and decolonize counseling and healing practices, ensuring that all individuals feel valued, respected, and heard, regardless of background, perspective, or experience.
   
• Embodied Practice: We incorporate mindful movement and creative activities that help regulate the nervous system and promote body-mind connection. By focusing on vagus nerve stimulation, these practices encourage present-moment awareness and support clients in balancing their nervous system states for greater well-being.

• Integrity: We adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards in all our business practices. Genuineness and responsibility guide our actions, and we ensure that our integrity remains uncompromised in every decision we make.
   
• Trauma/Resilience-Informed: We apply trauma/resilience-informed principles to our work, understanding the impact of past trauma and toxic stress. This approach is fundamental in our client relationships and organizational culture. By prioritizing a welcoming, transparent, and empathetic environment, we empower clients to make informed choices and engage in decision-making with agency and consent. We focus on cultural considerations and strength-based practices while avoiding re-traumatization.
