Hi! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and evaluator. I provide psychological services in English and Spanish. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief and loss, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-ups sessions.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive therapy.
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
The basic idea behind Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is that your thoughts, feelings, and behavior all impact each other. CBT aims to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more balanced and positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts. You're shown how to change these negative patterns to improve your mood and feelings.
