Hello! I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy in Texas/New Mexico for adults and adolescents. I have 12 years of inpatient/outpatient professional work experience assisting clients of diverse backgrounds with a wide array of mental health symptoms. I believe that YOU are the expert of your story and you already have so many strengths to overcome the challenges you are facing. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling life and to take steps towards change. I want to support and empower YOU in that journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll create a space where you feel comfortable and safe to share your thoughts and experiences. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, expectations, and any specific concerns you have. I might ask about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. It's a collaborative conversation where we start building a roadmap for our future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is making a warm and genuine connection with all clients about starting their therapy journey.
