About My Clients

These are the primary areas I can assist you with: dual diagnosis (mental health and addiction use disorder), depression, anxiety, and other issues that may affect your daily functioning, as well as couple's therapy. A typical treatment plan may involve personalized strategies and interventions tailored to your specific needs, and you can expect to see improvements in your overall well-being.

My Background and Approach

While my approach is primarily person-centered, I also incorporate techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Reality Therapy. I have observed that these modalities significantly benefit my clients, enhancing their well-being and improving their relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My approach is person-centered, and I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) related techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Feminist Theory, and Reality Model Approach. Se habla español.
