Hi! I am a LMHC, bilingual clinician, with 15 yrs of experience. I am fluent in Spanish. I absolutely love what I do. I work with clients that are ready to make improvements in their life and do the hard work. I use strength based, humour and other approaches. I let the client set the pace of treatment and the direction as well. I hope you will consider me as a partner in your journey to self healing.
In the first session, you should be prepared to collaborate with me in completing the initial treatment plan. I want you to be able to tell me what you want to work on and the goals you want to accomplish. In the first session, I am asking a lot of questions because I want to get to know you, your strengths and your supports.
My greatest strength is that I am person centered, strength based, encouraging and supportive.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to do the work in therapy. I enjoy working with clients that want to dig deep and make changes. I love working with people who have a good sense of humor and cry. People who are authentic and want to use therapy as a time to be themselves.
This is an evidenced based approach that gives the client control and power over themselves.
As a person who values faith, I have found connecting spirituality to treatment has assisted clients in finding their strength.
I have been providing couples counseling for 10 yrs now and supporting couples as they reconnect.
I am a certified clinical trauma professional with training in Somatic work.
I have used strength-based approach to assist clients in growing stronger.
