About My Clients
I help adults experiencing grief, problems with their self-esteem, chronic illness, anxiety and depression. I am inclusive and nonjudgmental, and my goal is for you to feel seen and heard.
My Background and Approach
I’m trauma-informed and approach therapy with compassion and curiosity. Early on, I will get a detailed background and establish goals with you. Topics I bring up in session may include relationship/family dynamics, attachment styles, boundaries, history of losses/hardships, past experiences and their impact on you today, behavioral and thinking patterns, self-compassion, and coping.I may suggest "homework", books, practicing coping skills learned.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My own experiences with grief and loss eventually led me to do this work. I also have a background working in inpatient palliative care where I learned to support patients with serious illness. My experience has helped me understand how to navigate the medical system and in supporting individuals who are experiencing illness and loss. I enjoy working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients and my services are available to every person regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, class, ability status, natal sex, military status, spiritual practice, marital status, age, sexual orientation or citizenship status. As a Latina of Mexican-American descent, I also see clients who prefer to do sessions in Spanish.
