Hi, I am a Bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have experience working with children, adolescents and Adults who are struggling with uncomfortable emotions, difficult relationships and personal discovery. My background includes working with survivors of Domestic Violence, Crisis intervention that includes suicidal ideations, self-harm behavior and anger management. I also have experience in the group setting, working in the Intensive Outpatient Program.
During our first session, I would like to learn more about what brings you to therapy, your expectations for treatment, and I would also like to learn more about your strengths. I would like to build a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel understood and safe. Together we will develop a treatment plan to set realistic short- and long-term goals.
I believe some of my biggest strengths as a Counselor are promoting for my clients resiliency through the development of self-awareness and skills building to approach difficulties in life with new tools.
Collaboratively working with my clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that negatively impact their mood and functioning.
Assisting my clients in learning and implementing skills to regulate uncomfortable emotions, increasing their ability to demonstrate healthier responses to distressful situations.
Allowing my clients to be the experts of their story and accompanying them in finding answers to stressful situations in their lives.
