Origin story
I was inspired to be a therapist accidentally actually. I started my graduate program thinking I would practice macro social work or work in public health in some capacity, however my program assigned me to a clinical internship working with chronically unhoused population seeking employment and housing stability. I worked with this agency for a year and fell in love with the work they did in the County and the agency hired me, after I graduate with my master's degree.
Ongoing work together
You will know you are reaching your goals because you will begin to have a healthier life perspective. Sabrás que estás alcanzando tus metas porque comenzarás a tener una perspectiva de vida más saludable.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
In practice, my experience using trauma informed care looks like, me guiding you in creating a healthier "trauma narrative" while slowing the session down if/when it becomes necessary by checking in & queuing you to utilize your regulation coping skills. The goal is to maintain the body in parasympathetic mode, while telling your story. I'm also trained in EMDR.
