The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a first-generation immigrant, I bring a unique and empathetic perspective to the emotional and psychological challenges that come with life transitions. This personal experience, combined with my clinical training, has deepened my understanding of the complexities of living between two cultures and navigating life transitions. I know the importance of providing a safe and compassionate space for clients to explore their struggles, build resilience, and uncover their unique personal strengths that are ready to be used. Como inmigrante de primera generación, aporto una perspectiva única y empática a los retos emocionales y psicológicos que acompañan las transiciones de la vida. Esta experiencia personal, combinada con mi formación clínica, ha profundizado mi comprensión de las complejidades de vivir entre dos culturas y de navegar los distintos cambios vitales. Para mí es fundamental ofrecer un espacio seguro y compasivo donde mis clientes puedan explorar sus dificultades, fortalecer su resiliencia y descubrir las fortalezas que ya poseen y están listas para ser utilizadas.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Becoming an adult is exciting, but it also brings challenges that can sometimes feel difficult to untangle. I enjoy working with young adults and individuals going through life transitions, such as migrating to a new country, adjusting to a new culture, raising teenagers, living independently, or recently retiring. Whether these transitions involve a brief adjustment, processing past trauma, or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, I am here to support you through this journey.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have discovered that the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are practical and useful for my clients in their quest to identify the root cause of their problems. I strongly believe that learning the source of uncomfortable emotions associated with anxiety and stress helps to build confidence and enables individuals to confront their problems head-on rather than avoiding them.

Strength-Based

My clients' unique qualities and talents are their greatest resource. I accompany them through their journey of embracing and valuing their individuality.

Psychoeducation

I believe that understanding the connection between our mind and body can help individuals manage the discomfort that comes with stress and anxiety.
