Hello, I'm Beatriz, Do you ever feel like you second guess yourself a lot? Do you ever wonder when that started or where that comes from? Are you afraid that your choices will go against cultural traditions and family believes? I help individuals find their courage to start living the live that they really want for themselves. It's not easy, it takes practice, time, patience, and at times taking a little deeper look into our fears. Together we will explore fears, difficult decisions, and at times things you might have been avoiding. Through motivational interviewing, we will explore what are your goals while in therapy. I use a strength based approach to start some action towards those goals. I start where you are and I will respect any decision you make along the way. Wether you are struggling through depression, anxiety, trauma, or want to overcome something to start a new adventure, this is a partnership. I am here to support you through the journey. Seeking therapy can feel scary at times, so I want to congratulate you for taking these steps. As a Latina, I know how hard it can be to not feel like you have a safe space to heal and grow. As a spoken word artist, I know the importance of telling your story. I will provide you with a space where there will be no judgement and a lot empathy. So, let's work together and start empowering your self love!

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

We may dive into some difficult topics during our first session, but we will work on them through out treatment. We will discuss what therapy will look like in future sessions. We will also develop goals you would like to accomplish within the next 3-6 months. As we are getting to know each other, we will develop a person-centered plan for us to work on in following sessions.

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

I want people to take pride in the hard work they put into therapy. Because it is not easy. I enjoy seeing the good in people. I find power in approaching others with empathy. I also try to find strength even in the messiest and most vulnerable of times.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I'm Certified in DBT. DBT is often used with personality disorders but I have seen it be so effective with people working on changing certain behaviors and battling anxiety. DBT has helped several of my clients whose emotions have felt invalidated for a very long time. It's time to start paying attention to your emotions and the information it is trying to give you. DBT will teach you how to be mindful, will help with distress tolerance, interpersonal conflicts, and emotional regulation.
