Welcome, and I look forward to being a support on this important and challenging journey of yours. As a first-generation Latina therapist, I understand systemic barriers, trauma care, intergenerational experiences, and community strengths. I hope to empower you to feel more confident in overcoming obstacles in your life. I am a bilingual(Spanish speaking) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years supporting patients achieve their goals to address trauma, societal stressors, life challenges, family complexities, school performance, and personal growth. I have my journey with societal pressures and family dynamics that inspired me to undertake the role of a therapist helping families, parents/caregivers, adolescents, and children overcome similar experiences.
In the first session, we will discuss your background, your reasons for therapy, and your potential goals. I seek to use these interactions to inform an approach that is best suited for your journey. I want to normalize nervousness for this first session. We will work through this process together.
My approach is to create a safe space that is client-centered, strength-based, and collaborative. As a mental health advocate, I take into consideration the different external factors impacting family and individuals' inner selves for an informative therapeutic approach to promote their well-being. I work collaboratively with you to consider your clinical needs and environmental factors to develop a trauma-informed and strength-based plan for your journey. I utilize a variety of interventions: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family-Focused Therapy(FFT), and Psychodynamic Therapy.
Struggling with trauma, hyperactivity/inattention, self-doubt, anxiety? I work with adults, older adults, teens, and school-age children on communication, parent-child connection, and behavioral management to reduce distress in the home environment while honoring their authenticity. I am considerate of each individual's uniqueness to develop skills that align with their values and aspirations.
