Hola! If you are looking for a psychotherapist who is empathetic, open-minded, occasionally funny, and most importantly someone who will push you take the driver's seat in your own treatment, then I am the therapist for you. I’m here to help you to take back ownership of your own life when your symptoms have made you feel powerless. I am trained in a variety of modalities: CBT, DBT, ACT, CPT and psychodynamic therapy. I can take from these modalities what I think will most benefit my clients' progress.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will gather psychosocial information about you that will help me paint a thorough picture of who you are and what your needs are. I will ask you what your specifics goals are for treatment, and I will also let you know what I require from you to make this an effective working relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked with a variety of populations, from the homeless to high-power and affluent clientele. This has allowed me to develop a great sense of empathy as I have truly seen how mental health problems do not discriminate base on race, gender, or wealth. I hold each of my clients with unconditional regard and respect, but I am also not afraid to push my clients when it is needed.
