Hello! I am a bilingual English-Spanish Licensed Professional Counselor. I provide individual, family, couples, and group therapy working with clients ages 13 to adult. I graduated from George Mason University and received a Masters of Education degree in Community Agency Counseling. I have been practicing for 6 years and have found that every approach I use is individualized with each client. Some approaches I use with clients are CBT, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, and Trauma Informed Care. She also uses a holistic and mindfulness approach where the belief that the mind and body connect with each other.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I will get the opportunity to get to know you and the reason for coming to therapy. We will work on a treatment plan together so you will have a guided support.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have worked with clients of various ages and cultural backgrounds. I allow every client to have autonomy in their session. You will be allowed to express yourself and will find that I have a nonjudgemental stance.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. Have you found the need to talk to someone and not know where to turn to? Everyday stressors can take a toll on the body. Looking for a therapist you can trust can be a process. I have been known to have a listening and empathic ear for clients in need. I will be an advocate in your journey. You will find that the traits of a supportive and nonjudgmental therapist will be important in your search. A veces la vida puede ser abrumadora. ¿Ha encontrado la necesidad de hablar con alguien y no sabe a quién recurrir? Los factores estresantes cotidianos pueden afectar el cuerpo. Yo puedo ser un apoyo.
