LMFT, 20 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Welcome, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist providing individual therapy to people seeking support. I have been working in mental health for over 25 years as a Therapist, Clinical Supervisor and Program Director with community non-profits serving underserved and Latino communities. Currently I am focusing on providing a safe space to those finding themselves with anxiety, depression and/or trauma. You are not alone although we at times feel alone. We will utilize various evidence based models based on your needs. You will develop cognitive behavioral, relaxation, mindfulness and poly-vagal toning techniques to address your current life challenges. Looking forward to joining your healing Journey.
As we first meet I like to share about my background to create a safe space before we delve into what brings you to therapy. I encourage you to share your experiences and challenges you are facing. Then together we can establish a treatment plan for your healing journey.
Throughout my work and clinical development I have found my most effective work to be with individuals that have experienced childhood trauma. Adulthood is challenging in of itself along with unhealed trauma from abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, neglect etc.); homelessness, war, refugee, natural disasters, or exposure to domestic violence can be even more detrimental in daily functioning.
I work well with people of color, men and women that have experienced childhood trauma
