Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with an MHSP designation, bringing 7 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and couples facing challenges related to grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and cultural issues. My approach involves helping clients identify obstacles to achieving their optimal selves, fostering a healthy mental health lifestyle. I work collaboratively with clients to understand and manage life difficulties, equipping them with the skills to thrive in various circumstances. My primary focus is on utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients on their journey towards growth and healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the initial session, clients can anticipate me asking further questions based on their intake responses. I also dedicate time to discussing my therapeutic approach, ensuring it aligns with their expectations for optimal care and a positive therapy journey. Together, we establish SMART goals and address any inquiries or concerns they may have. It's paramount to me that clients feel both comfortable and safe throughout their therapeutic experience.b
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my key strengths as a therapist is my commitment to allowing my clients to take the lead and maintain as much control as possible during sessions. I recognize that for many individuals, therapy may be a new experience, and I prioritize creating a positive and supportive environment for them. Moreover, I emphasize to my clients that I am there to accompany them on their journey, helping them identify patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions that may be impeding their progress towards optimal mental health. Being bilingual in Spanish and English, I understand the importance of being able to communicate directly in one's native language. Lastly, as a therapist, I actively participate in various trainings to ensure that I can incorporate the latest techniques and approaches into my sessions with clients.
