I am a Bilingual (English/ Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years experience in the therapy domain.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our sessions together, you can expect to feel safe and heard. Since an important part of the effectiveness of therapy is about your relationship with your therapist, I want you to get a feel for who I am as a person and what I can offer you. As a primarily person-centered practitioner, we will start with whatever you feel comfortable with. I will ask about your history and presenting problems so I can get a feel of which therapeutic interventions and modalities will be best matched to help you reach your therapy goals. My clients often leave sessions with different skills and insights that are aligned with these goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a human, and as a human, I have experienced my own struggles and difficulties throughout life that I have had to work through. Taking what I have learned along the way and using it to help others has been something I have been passionate about for most of my life. I believe that clients have the answers to their struggles within themselves and I seek to utilize the therapeutic relationship to assist my clients in realizing their potential for growth and change.
