(she/her)
Hi! I am a bilingual, first generation, Latina therapist. I have worked with a diverse group of adult clients from different social economic, ethic, immigration, and educational backgrounds. Primarily, I have assisted clients with managing their anxieties within relationships, school, work and legal stressors. I also help clients that struggle with issues such as trauma, immigration issues, family stressors, and domestic violence.
During the first session, I start with introductions, then we set expectations so you have a clear understanding of the treatment process. I also provide a low pressure space to discuss the reasons you are seeking treatment. I will also ask a few questions to assess your needs and confirm that we are an appropriate fit.
My greatest strength as a provider is having clients feel that their sessions are a safe and judgement free space. I also quickly set this type of space in the sessions for clients.
I very much enjoy working with clients who are first generation or immigrants from a different country. I work well with clients that are overwhelmed, have difficulty making decisions, feel on edge and struggle to concentrate. Typically, clients also struggle in managing family and/or cultural implications.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT strategies to guide clients with managing catastrophic and/or negative thoughts. I also provide many new perspectives and reframe many thoughts to assist clients with reducing their symptoms. Overall, I help clients develop the cognitive skills to reduce distressing thoughts.
Trauma Informed Care
I use trauma informed care to treat clients with PTSD by taking time to build rapport and providing a safe space. I also guide clients in developing the skills in managing their symptoms inside and outside the session before processing their trauma.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use a person centered approach to assist clients in building autonomy and comfort in their treatment. I remain mindful throughout the entire treatment for client's spoken and unspoken needs. I also encourage clients to communicate their feelings and thoughts about their treatment.
