LMHC, 5 years of experience
I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 4 years of experience specializing in grief, trauma, and emotional regulation. As a first-generation immigrant, Queer Latina Canadian, I am dedicated to supporting and advocating for my community. I have extensive experience working with youth, the Latinx community, and LGBTQ+ individuals in both English and Spanish. My commitment to helping others, particularly in crisis situations, is driven by a deep-seated passion for service and empathy.
In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and developing a plan tailored to your healing journey. My aim is to create a supportive and safe environment where you can explore your feelings and make meaningful progress.
As an immigrant who has navigated the challenges of adapting to a new language and culture, I draw on my personal experiences to support others through their own transitions. I aim to offer guidance and comfort to those facing difficulties and barriers.
I have a passion for working with Teenagers and Adults. As life throws trials and tribulations at them, I am here to guide them as they heal and grow into the person they know they can be.
Using trauma-sensitive techniques, I help clients work through their past and present difficulties, empowering them to overcome the effects of trauma.
I listen carefully and without judgment, creating a safe space for you to share your deepest thoughts and feelings. I am here to guide you, but you are in control.
Instead of dwelling on problems, I help you focus on your strengths and what’s already working in your life. Together, you set goals and work step-by-step to achieve them, creating a clear and hopeful path forward.
Utilizing a structured treatment for PTSD, I will help you identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts related to your trauma. By reframing these thoughts, you can reduce trauma-related symptoms and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel understood and respected.
