New to Grow
Hello! You have taken a big step in engaging in therapy. I hope I can be the right fit for you. I am a licensed psychotherapist with 20+ yrs clinical experience. I am a somatic therapist, which means I work with the body, brain and mental health concerns. In my practice I use talk therapy, CBT and brainspotting treatment modalities. However, I also process trauma and anxiety through understanding attachment styles, relational foundations and trauma lens. As a bilingual, bicultural and 1st generation person I love working with the BIPOC community navigating that experience as well.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Will consistent of getting to know one another and see if we gel. I will explore your motivation for coming to therapy, what you'd like to work on and what goals you have for yourself.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a bilingual bicultural 1st gen Latina therapist and have personal experience navigating various identities and life experiences. Also, I recognize we are all different and work in different ways. Therefore I assess what approach would be most beneficial to you and not just use a cookie cutter approach but I always begin from a Humanistic stand point and work from there.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with individuals who are experiencing life transitions, anxiety, relationship concerns and have trauma histories. We will work together on identifying what is blocking you, affecting your relationships, decreasing your motivation and/or affecting your mood. I enjoy working with adults, young adults, college/grad students, women, BIPOC community, and 1st generation Americans. My other specialties include adult ADHD, chronic pain and grief.
