Hello! I am a bilingual and bicultural therapist who graduated from San Jose State Univerisity and licensed as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in California. I love pets and have 2 cats that I have adopted. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and have a deep understanding of Mexican culture, allowing me to offer culturally responsive care to individuals. I enjoy working with children, parents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, grief, or the effects of trauma. Working with children, youth, and mothers holds a special place in my heart. As a mother and therapist, I understand the importance of feeling seen, supported, and connected.
Our first session will focus on getting to know one another to see if we are a good fit. We will discuss what therapy will look like, confidentiality and its limitations, and what brings you to therapy. I will be asking questions about your concerns so I can better undersand your story. Therapy is a process that takes times.
My approach is grounded in working collaboratively, curiosity, and deep respect for each person's unique story. I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work and value the role that culture and relationships, and life experiences play in shaping who we are.
As a bilingual therapist, I speak Spanish and enjoy working with indviduals who prefer to speak spanish... or both languages. I enjoy working with children, parents, single parents, and adults who are ready to do the work and open to trusting the therapeutic process. . I have extensive experience working with children, grief/loss, traumatic or stressful experiences, anxiety, parent/child relatioships, women issues, parenting, domestic violence/abuse, and early childhood trauma.
I will use a variety of different approaches depending on what your needs are which can vary from a person to person. I am have extensive training in providing trauma informed care, trauma focused- cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative, play therapy with children, and have been trained in EMDR. I am also trained in Child Parent Pscyhotherapy (CPP) and endorsed as a Mental Health Specialists in early childhood mental health in CA.
