Do you struggle with anxiety & depression? Do you feel stuck in old patterns? Are you curious about therapy, looking for support or needing help? Taking the first step to start therapy can be intimidating & finding the right fit in therapy can be difficult. My emphasis is on creating a safe, compassionate, & non- judgmental environment to facilitate your internal healing & personal growth. I am a bilingual (English- Spanish) Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with many years of experience working with children, adolescents & adults. I currently work with adults utilizing a person-centered approach, incorporating attachment-based & trauma focused interventions tailored to each individual's needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I facilitate individualized therapy, based on the client's needs & preferences. My work is centered on developing a collaborative relationship with the client. I utilize a conversational approach geared to find the client's personal strengths, promote insight & help the client find their own solutions to make appropriate changes in their lives. Over the course of therapy, you will process your thoughts & feelings to understand your symptoms & the dynamic of your emotional reactions. You will also spend time learning more adaptable skills of managing emotions & relationships.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Emotionally focused therapy that incorporates a Psychodynamic approach & Attachment theory. Cognitive Behavior Therapy interventions to better understand your thoughts. Mindfulness to help develop awareness in the present moment.
