It's easy to overlook our need for self-care when we're busy taking care of other aspects of our lives. Our priorities often revolve around work and our family's well-being, leaving us at the bottom of our list. My aim is to encourage self-determination through therapy.

As a bilingual therapist, I take pride in being able to provide therapeutic services to a multicultural clientele.

During our therapeutic relationship, we will work together to achieve your goals and find new ways to overcome obstacles and crises. We'll collaborate on identifying your strengths, as it's important to recognize how your current mindset and decisions are impacting the challenges you face in life.

First session

In our first session, we will introduce ourselves and conduct a thorough assessment to identify the reason for your therapy and develop a treatment plan for future sessions.

Strengths

I am certified Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the client-centered approach.

Ideal clients

I enjoy working with teenagers and young adults who are uncertain about their career choices. I also assist adults in developing coping strategies to manage life's various challenges.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps patients view their problems from a different perspective, empowering them to challenge their challenges and traumas and gain increased awareness, insight, and the ability to make better choices.

Pamela is great at reflecting on what I say and helping me develop goals with perspective on how I can meet those goals. I look forward to our next session.

Amazing therapist! She definitely makes me feel better about my emotions and validates what needs to be validated. She calls out any behaviors and tell me things I sometimes don’t want to hear, but I need to in order to move past a problem. I love her interactions and always look forward to our sessions!
