First session
In our first meeting, we'll introduce ourselves, then I'll gather information about your present concerns, and create a plan for goals to target.
Strengths
When working with anxiety and depression, I aim to address self-deprecating statements, reframe negative thought patterns, target thoughts of loneliness, fear, rejection, and rumination. We'll look at these barriers and increase emotional regulation, resilience, identify historical patterns, triggers, generate new ideas, solutions, visualization, and develop a new narrative.
Ideal clients
I am a Mexican American LGBTQIA affirming therapist with a passion for helping people from all cultures, religions, inequities, and personal struggles. My goal is to empower all individuals to achieve happiness and find their purpose.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thought distortions or perseveration as a symptom of anxiety/stress and replacement strategies for behavioral patterns such as meditative practices, relaxation techniques, mindfulness training, & identifying ways to increase motivation and desire.
