Everyone has the ability to thrive and reach their full potential, and it is through this process of discovery that makes me passionate about working with my clients. I provide support, empathy, and understanding in every session while we explore life's challenges that often make us feel "stuck." I believe that therapy is a journey of self-discovery of not only one's own underlying issues, but also of our own unique potential to strive for hope and resiliency. Services in Spanish are also available. Life can be filled with many challenges and often, we just need to look for some space to contain our thoughts. Allow me to work with you in identifying your goals, explore options, and try to overcome obstacles. My goal is to help you recognize the strengths that you inherently hold while helping you feel supported reinforce the idea that you are enough! I currently offer services to adults looking to explore their own interpersonal growth through a secure tele-health platform.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, we'll begin with a quick introduction and then move into discussing the specific challenges you're currently navigating. This will allow me to craft a personalized plan to guide our work together in future sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am familiar with evidenced based therapies such as CBT and DBT and have been trained in both. When working with clients, however, I feel that I tend to focus on the relationship, where my client is at emotionally during the current time of our session, and work on trying to find ways of working together to help provide more support, reassurance, and reinforce or identify strategies that can help with promoting a sense of calm and peace. We all come from different backgrounds and have a wide array of day to day stressors that may impact us differently from one day to the next- from one moment to the next. Although I may come into session with an idea of what we can tackle, it is always important for me to make sure I am meeting you with where you are at in life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is that I try my best to be genuine, authentic, and compassionate with my clients and the work that I do. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings (psychiatric hospitals, college settings, skilled nursing facilities, county clinics) and populations (children, youth, adults, geriatric), that I feel that I have been able to develop skills and knowledge of the different stages, obstacles, and milestones that many of us go through.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am deeply committed to helping individuals who are seeking greater clarity and direction in their lives, with a particular passion for empowering the LatinX female community. My clients are motivated to improve but often find themselves lacking the tools to turn their goals into reality. They commonly experience feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their purpose, both within their families and communities, and in their own self-identity.
