Hello there, I'm Susie. I'm a bilingual therapist who speaks English and Spanish. I have specialized training in Art Therapy and EMDR. In my work with individuals and groups, I am compassionate, collaborative, culturally sensitive and creative. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. As humans, we create patterns and behaviors that may no longer be helpful for us when navigating relationships in our life. This can feel stressful, helpless, and anxiety provoking. Having space to acknowledge and talk about what is happening in your life can help relieve the intensity of those feelings and can help create new patterns and behaviors. *Currently ONLY taking adult clients (18+).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and go over any questions and concerns. We will go over consents forms and logistics. After, talk about needs and challenges that may be present and go over goals, expectations, and treatment plan. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I love to be creative! During these few years with COVID I have learned to be creative in how I reach my clients and using art (if appropriate) to help clients during session. I understand that some challenges are complex and it is why I love learning and attending specialized training like EMDR to help expand my tool kit as a therapist.
