As a bilingual Clinical Therapist , I work closely with clients to minimize the long-term effects of complex trauma. I use evidence-based therapies to help empower families, guiding them on their journey to healing and resilience despite the challenges they face. I am deeply passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where every client feels heard, understood, and supported throughout their healing process.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we'll discuss any current challenges or stressors you may be facing. I'll ask questions to better understand your concerns, and together, we'll start to build a therapeutic connection. Everyone has a unique story, and I'm looking forward to learning more about yours.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve had the privilege of providing training and presentations to a wide range of professionals—including law enforcement, medical providers, school staff, and social service agencies—on the importance of trauma-informed care. I take pride in my ability to bridge the gap between education and practice, which allows me to serve as both a resource and an advocate for the community.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My approach to therapy is tailored to each client's unique needs. I primarily use a person-centered, strengths-based approach, focusing on empowering you to build on your existing strengths. Additionally, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you explore how your thought patterns may influence your emotions and behaviors, offering guidance toward meaningful change in daily life.
