I am an empathic, supportive therapist who utilizes therapeutic tools to empower my clients to lead more fulfilling lives. I provide assistance in identifying areas that require change, healing past traumas, enhancing relationships, fostering greater self-awareness, learning and implementing effective coping skills, and establishing achievable goals. I am Bilingual in Spanish and English and bicultural. My area of expertise is in treating mood disorders, past trauma, and women's issues with a focus on Mindfulness techniques and trauma-informed therapy. I only provide individual therapy at this time. I am also an LGBTQIA+ ally.
The first session is used to gather history, develop treatment goals, and to discuss the therapeutic process.
I work hard to support my clients in facing aspects of themselves that no longer work and to encouraged showing up more fully for themselves. This may be challenging at times as it can be hard to look at parts of ourselves that no longer serve us.
I work best with clients who are interested in learning more about themselves. Who are interested at looking at ways to improve their lives and show up more fully for themselves.
Extensive training and experience in CBT. I work to help my clients understand how their thought process impacts their behavior. I also develop interventions to address maladaptive behavioral patterns and improve coping skills. I am a LGBTQ+ ally.
