I am a bilingual and first generation Honduran American Marriage and Family Therapist who is based in California, born and raised in Los Angeles area.
Over the past couple of years I have specialized in working with young and older adults from 18-70 years dealing with depression, anxiety and past traumas such as sexual, physical and emotional abuse.
First session
In our first session together we will explore symptoms and current stressors that bring you into therapy to help formulate treatment goals. We will work collaboratively to address symptoms and increase healthier coping skills.
Strengths
As a Latina therapist working with clients over the past 6 years, one of my main focuses is creating an empathetic, safe and non-judgemental environment for each client. I strive to help clients reach their fullest potential through identifying core beliefs that negatively impact clients, increase healthier coping skills and explore each client's unique experience to address symptoms.
Ideal clients
As a first generation Latina I am passionate in helping individuals reach their fullest potential by creating a safe and encouraging environment. I love working with young and older adults dealing with past traumas and dealing with life stressors which have impacted their daily function. As a therapist my main focus is that each client feels safe to address their feelings and listened too. Each of us has a unique life experience, as a therapist I come into the room acknowledging that you are the expert of your life experiences and together we work collaborative to build skills and process those life events through compassion, empathy and respect.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist I have been able to implement CBT with individuals that have dealt with childhood trauma, depression, and anxiety. Clients have been able to restructure and reframe negative/self defeating thoughts of self and increase positive core beliefs of their identity and outlook on life.
EMDR
As a trained EMDR therapist I have been able to implement EMDR with clients that deal with depression, childhood trauma, sexual abuse and anxiety. Clients have been able to increase verbalization of strengths, view of selves and positive outlook on their future.
Humanistic
As a therapist I have been able to implement a humanistic approach into therapy, in which the client is able to reach their fullest potential through empathy, unconditional positive regard and active listening about client's life experiences.
