Hi! I am a bilingual licensed Mental Health Therapist in Florida. I attended The University of South Florida. I have been in practice since 2012, I have provided support to clients needing assistance with concerns including, but not limited to trauma, stress, anxiety, workplace stress, depression and other concerns when life just happens. I hold extensive experience in working with survivors/ victims of abuse and trauma including domestic violence, victims of crime, and those who suffer Post traumatic Stress disorders
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During your first session, we will build rapport and introduce ourselves. I will ask questions to understand what you're struggling with and what brought you in to therapy. You'll likely talk about some of your past (family history, traumatic experiences) and how your symptoms or feelings are manifesting today, and how long they have been showing up. From there we will begin identifying your specific goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with different clients , I have developed the skills necessary such as building trust, listening, congruency, empathizing with your struggles, empowering, and creating a healthy safe place to help you process your experiences.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I especially love working with clients who experience anxiety, trauma and low self esteem concerns. I will give you the tools to reach your potential and help you feel more confident about yourself. We will walk together to help you discover the root of the problem and build on healthy coping strategies.
