About My Clients
My multicultural background clients experience layers of culture and traditions. At times you may miss your country of origin or have difficulty navigating family traditions and beliefs. You may be dealing with low energy/mood or anxiety; feeling overwhelmed. You are resilient but feel out of sync and need support to ground yourself and improve your sense of agency. You are emotionally intelligent and invested in improving your life.
My Background and Approach
I am a client centered practitioner, which means that I use techniques and strategies from different therapeutic modalities to best adapt to your needs. For example, with each client, I may use a unique framework based on concepts and techniques from Mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic therapy styles as part of treatment. I often integrate activities from ACT, acceptance and commitment therapy to bring specific and practical activities into the session. I am direct and I tend to challenge my clients appropriately even when that challenge removes them from their comfort zone. I find that most of my clients benefit from an integration of body, mind and spirit (holistic approach), usually emphasizing their somatic experiences. Whenever possibly humor is part of our sessions to alleviate the heavy load and to activate our sense of wellbeing! Sessions in Spanish and English
