About My Clients
Immediate openings! I provide therapy to adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, OCD, family dynamics, cultural issues, grief, chronic illness/pain, and disability. Who are my clients? You're a perfectionist & hard on yourself. Or lately things are so tough that not doom scrolling feels impossible. Your culture & family mean a lot to you AND you're struggling to prioritize yourself within that. You feel unseen. You want to empower yourself to use your voice.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in practice since 2017. I have extensive experience in practicing various treatment modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, and self-compassion. If you have sessions with me, I will emphasize that YOU are not your diagnosis. You are YOU and who you are matters. We help to identify you inner strengths and qualities, using these to support you as you tackle challenges. You might come to session with a lot to say or you might come but have no clue what to say. That's okay; I can ask you questions and guide you. Maybe our sessions involve building coping skills and using a treatment modality OR maybe you just need a space to talk it out. I don't believe there is a single therapist that is perfect for everyone. If you'd like to work with me, wonderful. If you change your mind later, that's okay. My priority is your well being; you get to decide what that looks like and where your safe space is.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that YOU are the expert of your lived experience. My goal is to guide you to use your strengths while believing in yourself and what you can do on your own healing journey. I am here to shine a flashlight, to guide you, but you are and will be the person to create the change and healing you need in your life. To support that emotional wellness, I focus on promoting both physical and mental health and care. As a Latina therapist and Mexican-American, my cultural identity is integral to who I am and to my practice. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian, I am passionate about providing linguistically and culturally competent care. I continue to serve individuals from various races and ethnicities including many immigrant individuals and communities. Using this culturally aware and strengths-based approach, I listen to your needs and guide you based on your values and beliefs whether that be to incorporate your culture, faith, identity, or simply your values as a person.
