Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will include general relationship building and getting to know what brings you to seeking therapy. We would work to get an idea of what kind of changes you would like to see in your life and see how therapy could help with those changes. I work to build a non-judgemental environment that allows people to be their authentic self without worrying about how things may come accross.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I was educated in Urban Generalist Theory and focused my studies on Latino Critical Social Work. I work to bring culturally responsive, community-centered care to clients navigating complex urban and rual systems. With a decade of experience across crisis stabilization, telehealth, and community mental health, I integrate trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches while honoring the lived experiences of diverse, multicultural communities. This being said I think it is also important to note that anyone is able to benefit from these approaches and working to understand that mental health is a cross-cultural issue has broadened my scope in people that I serve, even when they might not be faced with the same systemic challenges.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My practice focuses on working with clients who need support in empowerment and who need help navigating systemic barriers, fostering resilience, and uplifting cultural strengths while navigating other challenges such as, anxiety, depression, psychosis, trauma, and life transitions. I work to give my clients the tools to navigate the world around their challenges and work to lower the impact their challenges may have so they can live fulfilling lives.
