What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, clients can expect a welcoming environment. I will answer any questions/concerns clients may have about receiving mental health services. We will discuss their reason for seeking support and if there are any immediate needs. I will also provide the client with information about consent, confidentiality, the therapeutic process, and scheduling future sessions. Durante nuestra primera sesión, los clientes pueden esperar un ambiente acogedor. Responderé cualquier pregunta o inquietud que los clientes puedan tener sobre cómo recibir servicios de salud mental. Discutiremos el motivo por el que buscan apoyo y si hay alguna necesidad inmediata. También proporcionaré al cliente información sobre el consentimiento, la confidencialidad, el proceso terapéutico, y la programación de sesiones futuras.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Strength-Based
I utilize Strength-Based treatment method to support clients recognize their inherent strengths to foster a sense of empowerment and resilience while respecting client's autonomy. By helping clients identify and build upon their strengths, clients can develop more effective coping strategies to help achieve their personal goals.
Attachment-based
Additionally, I incorporate Attachment-based treatment approach to support clients address relational challenges and promote secure attachment styles. This method is useful for clients who have experienced relational trauma, childhood challenges, and/or struggle with trust and intimacy. By helping client explore and understand their attachment patterns, clients can develop healthier relationships and improve their overall emotional well-being.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
In my practice, I have work with toddlers, school-aged children, and families. I specialize in infant-parent mental health (0-5 population), play therapy, behavioral/adjustment challenges, parent/child relationship issues (attachment, bonding, separation) to help my clients improve their well-being. I work closely with parents to enhance their understanding of their child's emotional needs/behaviors, teaching them strategies to provide a nurturing and secure environment. My aim is to strengthen the bond between parent and child, which is essential for the child's well-being.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I help clients achieve their mental health treatment plan goals by supporting/guiding clients to focus on the solutions rather than the problem. As with the treatment methods mentioned above I focus on helping clients identify and build on their strengths and resources to create positive mindset.
