Empowering

Hello, my name is Eva. I am a License Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families through life’s challenges.

I have an extensive knowledge working with young children (0-5), with developmental trauma, as well as, adults, and older adults who experienced trauma.

I provide therapy both in English and Spanish and strive to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood and supported.

First session

My goal of the first session is to get to know my clients. I will be asking several questions about their unique experiences, their background, and what brought them to therapy.

Strengths

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds and meet them where they are in their healing journey. I bring compassion, patience, and a nonjudgmental approach to every session, creating a safe space where clients feel heard and supported. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients better understand their emotions, develop practical coping skills, and build resilience . I believe every individual has unique strengths , and my goal is to help clients recognize and build upon those strengths to create meaningful, lasting change. .

Ideal clients

I enjoy working with diverse populations. I am bilingual, English and Spanish.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Together, we identify, unhelpful thinking patterns, develop healthier perspectives , and practice practical strategies to manage anxiety, and everyday challenges. My approach is collaborative, structured and self-oriented, helping clients build skills they can continue using outside of therapy.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I incorporate Dialectal Behavioral Therapy to help clients manage overwhelming emotions, cope with stressful situations, improve their relationships. Sessions may focus on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and effective communication. My goal is to provide practical tools that clients can apply in their daily lives to feel more confident navigating challenges.

Trauma-Informed Care

I will help individuals to be able to recognize how trauma is showing up in their day to day lives, and being able to incorporate new strategies for self-care, increasing the felt sense, and how to reintegrate trauma in a way that doesn’t feel so disruptive, and help create a more healthy narrative in a safe space.

Child-Parent Psychotherapy

I am certified in CPP, my main goal is to strengthened the parent-child relationship and help families heal and grow after stressful experiences.

Eva has a natural ability to connect with me, making it clear she does not judge my thoughts or sharing. Eva shares with me practical tools I can actively use, such as breathing exercises, videos, and sensory connection techniques—reminding me that I am in control of my emotions. I anticipate my Saturday sessions with Eva. Her warm and welcoming approach creates a truly pleasant experience. I am grateful to have Eva as my therapist.

Eva is seriously one of the most attentive, understanding, and supportive therapists I’ve ever worked with. She’s empathetic, goal-oriented, and takes the time to create personalized plans that actually help—whether you're going through a big life transition or just need support managing day-to-day struggles. Her resources and worksheets have pulled me out of tough spots many times. I'm so grateful to have found her—she’s helped me through so much over the past two years. Highly recommend!
