I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with people struggling from mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, LBGT issues, addiction and recovery, and neurodevelopment disabilities specifically autism spectrum disorder. I have worked in the field of mental health for 15+ years. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, coaching, and providing support to adult individuals in need of change in their lives.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
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.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
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.
Cognitive Behavioral (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.
