Are you feeling stressed? Struggling with depression? Is your anxiety preventing you from enjoying your life? Life can be difficult and sometimes we just need someone to listen and guide us or offer fresh ideas and tools that could help us reach a level of satisfaction and improve our quality of life. I understand the difficulties of maintaining a work-life balance, therefore, I emphasize skills that can be easily implemented into different lifestyles and routines. I provide support to adolescents and adults individually and have a passion for working with individuals who are ready and motivated to begin treatment with the sole purpose of healing and to reach life fulfillment and well-being. I focus on each person individually and create a treatment plan that will align with your strengths, values and beliefs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will gather more information and ask additional questions to clarify some information from the intake form. Our first appointment/session, is also an opportunity for both, client and myself, to identify whether we are a good fit for each other and the level of connection which plays an important role in each person's healing process. This first meeting session will also serve as our time to create treatment goals to give us a baseline to monitor progress and focus on the areas that are the most important to each individual.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My approach is client-centered and solution-focused but I also use different therapeutic interventions based on the client's needs. I provide tools and skills that can help improve each individual's life and that can be easily utilized in between sessions to continue to provide support during the healing process. I utilize a combination of talk therapy and other tools to accommodate all learning styles.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my biggest strengths, I like to believe, is my ability to connect with clients in a sincere manner driven by empathy and sometimes, a little bit of humor. I bring a culturally competent approach and knowledge, understanding that our ethnicity, culture, background, etc., plays an important role as well. I am fluent in Spanish so I am also able to accommodate and support Spanish-speaking clients without the language barrier.
