LCSW, 5 years of experience
Hi! I'm a bilingual English/Spanish LCSW in both Florida and Nevada. I'm the therapist who talks during sessions, who interacts and works WITH you to find a path forward. I work with action-oriented, goal-directed folks who think something isn't working in their lives...but they just aren't sure what to do about it! My clients would describe me as a down-to-earth, thoughtful, interesting, and fun individual!
We will break the ice with brief introductions, then dive into your expectations, goals, and specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
I am bilingual in Spanish, bi-cultural, and a survivor of trauma among other challenges. I'm an immigrant who has struggled like most people nowadays. This increases my level of empathy and commitment to my clients. Besides, I love my job and am eager to update and/or learn the best science-based therapies possible.
I am passionate about serving individual and couples from various ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientation. I utilize a holistic approach in therapy while addressing body, mind, and spirit. Bienvenidos! Mi experiencia como licensiada en salud mental en el estado de la Florida y Nevada. Mi pasion es servir a pacientes individuos o parejas de diferentes origenes etnicos y orientacion sexual. Utilizo un modo holistico en terapia considerando cuerpo, mente, y corazon.
A collaborative and solution-focused approach between client and therapist, focusing on the here and now (present). Let the focus be on client strengths, what can be done, and how to implement goal-directed tasks to move forward and foster lasting change to improve overall quality of life.
