About My Clients
I have extensive experience in working with addiction and substance use disorders and their respective families. The patients I see often have co-occurring disorders, that is addiction and mental health issues. I have worked with many cultures and backgrounds but have significant work with Hispanic populations. Clients I serve and treat have a variety of circumstances that bring them to therapy ranging from stress management, traumas, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, and burn out.
My Background and Approach
I have worked in outpatient settings and residential treatment centers. Over the years, I have developed an integrated approach to helping people. I combine mindfulness based therapy and skill development with trauma-informed approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET). Additionally, I have a background in incorporating Experiential therapies as well as religious or secular approaches to enhance the beliefs and disposition of the client. I have also developed Cognitive Behavioral Therapies aligned with 12 step practicing persons in addiction recovery. I have an ability to match the approach and style according to the needs, personality, and temperament of the client. Therapy is not a one size fits all approach, so meeting the client with the language and intervention that suits their way of being is of the utmost importance to me.
