New to Grow
I am a Bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who effectively provides therapy to address psychological and behavioral challenges in adolescents and adults. I began my career diverting adolescents out of the criminal system by providing mandated individual and family therapy. I focus my practice on helping restore individuals and families with a method catered to meet each client's individual needs.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session I want to get to know you. I would like to know the reason that brought you in to therapy and the goals that you want to set for yourself. You can expect to have a safe space to speak freely as we begin to build our therapeutic relationship.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have been working as a therapist for over 8 years. I have worked with adolescents and families in the juvenile system, in a school setting and with adults working through life transitions, anxiety and depression. I utilize approaches specifically catered to each clients individual needs.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as other mental health concerns. I help identify tools and different methods to achieve those desired goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT for those clients struggling with negative thoughts. It helps alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression by working on decreasing negative thought patterns and behavior and replacing it with positive self talk.
