I am a bilingual Texas provider, fluent in English and Spanish, with over ten years of experience working with vulnerable populations. I currently am seeing clients through an online platform and not in person. I have extensive experience working with military families, Veterans, couples, and individuals with history of trauma. I pride myself in helping people get back to better and finding solutions to challenging situations. Having a collaborative therapeutic relationship with my client is important to me, as each person is a unique individual with unique needs that deserve respect and attention. Allow me to guide you in improving your life and understanding of yourself through the use of evidence based practices to help you get back to better.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, we will complete an assessment that allows us to explore collaboratively what stressor are contributing to your current presentation, identity historical factors that create current impact, and determine which treatment modality best suits you. Its important for me to meet you where you are at and provide informed Consent for your treatment moving forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have strength in working with individuals that have suffered through traumatic experiences. I am able to use CPT, EMDR, TF CBT, and CBT to assist you with processing those challenging experiences. Trauma not only impact the individual as it also impacts the entire family. I have worked with victims of military sexual trauma (male and female) and other types of traumatic experiences. I understand the difference between Complex PTSD and Complex Trauma, which is important in knowing how to treat client's that may present with one or both.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am a mental health provider with a focus on trauma treatment, depression and anxiety symptoms, and relationship problems. I have twelve years working with military, veteran, and civilian populations ranging from children age ten, adult individuals, and couples. I have the ability to work with clients suffering from insomnia using CBT Insomnia.
