I am an LMHC that works with clients from the first contact. I am a compassionate, empathic, and supportive therapist. I grew in my clinical skills through years of practice with all clients, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability. My approach is integrative and individualized; each individual's sessions and progress look different. I know how difficult it is to find a good, experienced therapist willing to work; let me be that therapist for you. Don't hesitate to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I am bicultural.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. 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 have experience helping clients with depression/anxiety, loneliness, trauma (PTSD), divorce, domestic violence, abuse, grief, rejection, fear, isolation, adjusting to changes in life, etc.

EMDR
I have been a certified EMDR therapist utilizing this powerful treatment method since 2019. I use EMDR to work with traumas, anxiety, and depression conditions with positive results.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have utilized the CBT method of treatment since my early years of formation, approximately ten years ago. I use CBT by itself or complementary to my EMDR treatment.
