LMHC, 1 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello, I’m a compassionate and bilingual therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma-informed care. I provide counseling in both English and Spanish, and I am deeply committed to honoring each client’s cultural background throughout our work together. As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space where they can explore life’s challenges and discover their own capacity for growth and healing. My approach is rooted in warmth, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard.
In our first session, my priority is to create a welcoming and safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. We’ll start by discussing what brings you to therapy and any goals you have for our work together. I’ll ask some questions to get to know you better such as, your background, current challenges, and what’s important to you, including any cultural factors you’d like to share. You can expect me to listen with warmth, compassion, and without judgment. We’ll work together to set the pace and direction of therapy, making sure you feel safe and empowered.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, and is deeply informed by trauma-sensitive care. I am known for creating a warm, compassionate environment and providing unconditional positive regard to every client. At the same time, I actively motivate clients to pursue and achieve their therapeutic goals. I thoughtfully incorporate each client’s cultural background into the therapeutic process, recognizing how culture shapes mental health and healing. My methods combine structure and empathy, empowering clients to confront challenges while feeling fully supported.
I strive to create a compassionate environment where you feel truly heard and respected. At the same time, I am committed to helping you move beyond what’s holding you back. Together, we’ll work to identify patterns, build new skills, and challenge limiting beliefs so you can reach your fullest potential and make the meaningful changes you desire. Seeking support is a powerful act of strength and self-care, and I commend you for taking this first step.
