About My Clients
I provide therapy for adolescents and adults and I have worked extensively with the adolescents and young adults. Culture, faith, and spiritual beliefs are important parts of who we are as people and integrate this into my practice. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and hold a social justice perspective. Perinatal, pregnancy, post partum, and parenting are also areas of focus and passion.
My Background and Approach
Over the past twelve years, I have been in the mental health field and serving the community in many capacities for over 25 years. I graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2004 with a Masters in Multicultural Ministries and Hispanic Studies. In 2009 I went back to graduate school at Grand Canyon University and graduated in 2011 with a double Masters in Professional Counseling and Addictions Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Independent Substance Use Counselor (LISAC) as well as an Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Approved Clinical Supervisor. I use a mix of CBT, Narrative Therapy, EMDR, solution focused therapy and am very client oriented in helping clients achieve their goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am an advocate for social justice- helping clients explore their stories and how culture , experiences have affected them and how people are shaped by life experiences and their narratives. Each part of of lives are important and spirituality and culture are major factors that formulate who we are as people and impact our core values. I have worked and volunteered in homeless shelters and non profits for the majority of my career and believe serving the community.
