Hello! I am a bilingual English-Spanish Licensed Professional Counselor. I provide individual, family, couples, and group therapy working with clients ages 13 to adult. I graduated from George Mason University and received a Masters of Education degree in Community Agency Counseling. I have been practicing for 6 years and have found that every approach I use is individualized with each client. Some approaches I use with clients are CBT, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, and Trauma Informed Care. She also uses a holistic and mindfulness approach where the belief that the mind and body connect with each other.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will get the opportunity to get to know you and the reason for coming to therapy. We will work on a treatment plan together so you will have a guided support.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked with clients of various ages and cultural backgrounds. I allow every client to have autonomy in their session. You will be allowed to express yourself and will find that I have a nonjudgemental stance.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
My treatment method allows clients to feel comfortable with the therapy they are receiving. This session is for you (the client) to speak freely and for us to work together on a treatment plan appropriate to the client.
