About My Clients
Are you feeling disconnected or numb, anxious, or depressed? You may have negative thoughts about yourself, difficulty trusting others, or find it hard to concentrate. Many people feel this way after challenging or traumatic experiences. The clients I best serve are looking for a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore difficult topics in the hopes of understanding and processing their emotions. I particularly enjoy working with clients with complex trauma and dissociation.
My Background and Approach
I am a bilingual Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults who have gone through difficult family relationships growing up, sexual or physical abuse, complex trauma, and other distressing or confusing things. I offer individual therapy that focuses on working together to increase insight and peace while alleviating anxiety and depression. In the first few sessions, I will make sure to provide you with ample examples of coping skills to help reduce your most distressing symptoms. I'll also share with you information and education that may explain why your thoughts, emotions, and body feel the way they do. From there, we will work together on any goals you have for therapy. I provide a safe space where you will feel heard and understood on this journey. Victor Hugo wrote “even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.” My goal is to help you work towards the hope of a new beginning.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe many of our challenging thoughts and unwanted behaviors stem from difficult relationships in our past, whether that is with family, friends, or partners. Although the past can shape who we become, I believe there is a way to heal, grow, and see change within you. I believe that everyone is deserving of a space to feel truly seen and understood, and it would be my honor to provide the safe space for you. I am a Hispanic woman and enjoy working with other women or adolescents in minority communities.
