Hello, I’m Patty, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, supporting them through challenges such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, crises, and more. I believe that every individual’s journey is unique, and my goal is to create a safe, empathetic space where you feel empowered to process your emotions, explore your experiences, and work toward your personal goals. Taking a client-centered approach, I meet you where you are, tailoring our work together to your specific needs and strengths. As a bilingual therapist, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, ensuring that language is never a barrier to finding the support you need. Whether you’re navigating a difficult time or seeking personal growth, I’m here to help you find clarity and balance. Let’s work together to create a path forward that feels right for you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, my focus will be on understanding the challenges that brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the experience. This session is an opportunity for me to learn about your unique needs, expectations, and preferred style of therapy and interaction. Together, we will begin to create a tailored approach that feels comfortable and effective for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

With over 14 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring empathy, understanding, and a client-centered approach to every session. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions. I take the time to understand your unique challenges, expectations, and therapeutic needs from the very first session, ensuring a personalized and effective approach. I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and situations, which allows me to provide culturally competent and inclusive care. By working collaboratively, I empower you to navigate life’s challenges, offering clarity, compassion, and actionable steps toward achieving your personal goals. Together, we can create a path to growth and success on your terms.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life who are navigating various situations, whether they are dealing with major life transitions, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, or seeking clarity in the face of uncertainty. My passion lies in helping individuals identify and overcome the obstacles that may be holding them back. My goal is to walk alongside you on your journey, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can process your feelings and explore your experiences. Together, we’ll identify what success means for you—whether it’s finding balance, achieving emotional well-being, or building stronger relationships—and work collaboratively to help you reach those goals. Every individual’s journey is unique, and I am here to meet you where you are, guiding you with empathy and understanding as you work toward a brighter future.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective approach for identifying and transforming negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. By helping clients recognize and challenge unhelpful thinking, I guide individuals toward developing healthier, more balanced perspectives. CBT also incorporates practical tools, such as goal setting and coping strategies, to manage stress, enhance problem-solving skills, and promote overall emotional well-being.

Strength-Based

In therapy, I use a strength-based approach that focuses on identifying and harnessing clients' personal strengths, resources, and resilience to overcome challenges. By helping clients recognize and build on their inherent abilities and past successes, I empower them to approach difficulties with confidence and optimism. This approach shifts the focus from problems to solutions, fostering a positive outlook and enhancing self-efficacy. Strength-based therapy supports clients in setting meaningful goals, boosting self-esteem, and promoting long-term personal growth by affirming their potential and resilience.

Attachment-based

I will use attachment-based therapy to help you understand how your early relationships and attachment styles influence your current emotions, behaviors, and relationships. By exploring these patterns, we will work together to heal wounds from your past attachment disruptions and build healthier connections. This approach fosters trust, emotional regulation, and secure relationships, providing a foundation for personal growth and resilience.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

In my practice, I strive to create a supportive and empathetic environment where clients feel truly understood and accepted. By embodying unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity, I encourage individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. This person-centered approach empowers clients to define their own goals, fostering self-reflection, self-acceptance, and meaningful personal growth. Through open-ended questions and reflective listening, I support clients in gaining deeper insights into themselves, facilitating meaningful change at their own pace.
