About My Clients
I have experience in treating clients presenting with anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, substance abuse, cumulative trauma, life-transitions, acculturation struggles, relationship issues, anger issues, low self-esteem, family conflicts, and a wide array of other struggles. In addition, I have extensive experience in working with at risk youths and their caregivers to address truancy, poor school performance, gang affiliation, physical aggression, AWOL, substance abuse, curfew violations, etc.
My Background and Approach
With regards to clinical modalities, I always ensure to utilize a multicultural lens while implementing cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, multi-systemic therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness based therapy, psychodynamic therapy, person centered, and solution –focused therapy, to name a few. My focus is always to provide a warm, empathetic, collaborative environment that allow my clients to feel a sense of security as we establish and increase rapport while navigating life’s challenges. I am known for having great clinical outcomes with clients as evidenced by my tendency to close with all or most goals met.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that as long as an individual has life and is willing to put in the work there is room for change. Consequently, most of the negative thoughts and maladaptive coping skills an individual has grown to learn can be revamped to form more positive thoughts and adaptive coping skills. With that said, we would collaborate to find out what is not working for you currently and what needs to be learned or unlearned to help you find what might work better for you. In addition, one of my core beliefs is to honor the multiculturalism of my practice. With that said, it is always at the forefront of my mind to be mindful of my client's values, beliefs, cultural norms, and practices and to do my best to incorporate them into treatment in a way that makes the client feel heard and understood. I do not discriminate under any circumstances and ensure that I provide a non judgmental space despite race, ethnicity, parental status, vaccine status, HIV Status, sexual orientation, etc.
