Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
A better understanding of themselves, and their specific relationships. I want to inspire them to take charge of their life and live intentionally and with purpose. I want clients to live to their fullest capacity: to thrive and not just exist. My purpose is to have clients live peacefully, and without fear in their lives.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy and Dialectical behavior therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I specialize in Latino family issues, and in women's issues. I have ongoing groups on depression, anxiety, trauma, grief counseling, journaling, and creative art therapy. I also have a variety of women's groups. Earlier in my career I focused on individual, adolescent and family counseling. I have volunteered at the Rape Counseling Center and worked as a Child Social Worker for the Department of Children's Services. I am a bilingual therapist (Spanish/English).
