Hola! I'm a biracial and bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I have 9 years experience in the social work field. I have experience as an intensive therapist providing psychotherapy for those struggling with serious mental health conditions /Caregiver burnout/suicidal ideation/trauma/ anxiety/depression/grief & loss/life transitions/discrimination/self-harming behaviors/& stress. I support adolescents and adults rediscover themselves, own their self-worth, and use their strengths to become not only the best versions of themselves, but feel better so they can enjoy life again. I’m excited to support you on your journey, whether this is your first time with therapy or returning!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, I will get to know you. We will do introductions, learn about your needs, goals, and current challenges or setbacks you're facing. I will also inquire about your interests and your values to tailor an individualized plan for you!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I always aim to support you in liking yourself and owning your worth! I also always take a client-centered approach because at the end of the day, you know yourself best. Coming from a trauma informed lens, I utilize various approaches to getting to the root of problems/setbacks to support in overcoming and continuing self-development journey.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)

We will start catching & monitoring those negative/unhelpful thoughts and triggers that lead to mood changes and suicidal thoughts. After that, develop an individualized plan to motivate us to follow through on plan for behavioral activation (engaging in identified activities & action steps) in order to feel better and overcome those thoughts. Of course, baby steps!

Grief Therapy

I have years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults process and cope during the grieving process. I provide psycho-education and normalize your unique grieving process and common symptoms associated with grief that impacts you.

Trauma-Focused CBT

Process trauma and stress reminders that trigger intense feelings, in order to catch, check, and reframe negative/anxious/unhelpful thoughts. After that, develop an individualized plan to motivate us to follow through on plan for behavioral activation (engaging in identified activities & action steps). Process stress reminders to begin healing journey!

Trauma Informed Care
