Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first therapy session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we will explore their purpose for seeking therapy. I take time to understand their unique needs and goals, ensuring we establish a strong therapeutic fit. We will discuss expectations for our work together, including what clients hope to achieve, and outline how we can collaboratively navigate their journey toward personal growth.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, empathetic, and client-centered. I am committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns. I tailor my methods to meet the unique needs of each individual, drawing on a range of evidence-based practices to promote healing and growth. The theoretical approaches I most commonly employ include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and shift negative thought patterns, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, which fosters presence and self-awareness. I also integrate Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients build on their strengths and work toward practical, goal-oriented outcomes. For those exploring deeper existential concerns or life transitions, I draw on Existential Therapy, which emphasizes individual freedom, personal responsibility, and the search for meaning. This approach is particularly effective for clients grappling with major life changes, loss, or feelings of unfulfillment, and encourages profound reflection on personal values and purpose.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I primarily work with LGBTQ+ clients, as well as individuals from Latino and multicultural backgrounds, with a focus on adult populations. I am experienced in addressing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and navigating cultural and societal challenges. I strive to create a safe, inclusive environment that supports individuals in exploring their personal and therapeutic goals. I also have experience working with couples, help navigate issues with communication, infidelity and betrayal.
