About My Clients
Therapy can be intimidating, specially when we are unfamiliar/struggle expressing our emotions. But therapy is a process where you work 1:1 with a trained clinician in a safe, caring, confidential environment. I'm a Clinical Social Worker with experience on inpatient/outpatient settings through an individual's lifespan. I specialize in working with individuals who experienced trauma, chronic psychiatric disorders (i.e. bipolar disorder), life stressors such as acculturation, gender identity, etc
My Background and Approach
As a bicultural individual, I am passionate about providing culturally competent services for English and Spanish speakers as well as continue developing professional competencies for my clients. My goal is to support your journey by helping you acquire and practice skills that will help you through challenging situations or uncomfortable emotions that affect your life. We’ll connect and notice how your body feels those emotions and its impact on your daily life and relationships. Together we'll work though acceptance, communication, challenging distressing thoughts, behaviors (i.e. impulses, aversive actions, etc.). We’ll figure different ways to cope with uneasy feelings, worries, memories to gain a sense of balance, wellbeing and nurture your resilience. I am currently offering services via Telehealth; that is having the ability to access care from your home with more options for safety, privacy, and convenience. I hope we connect soon!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a Latino immigrant with a myriad of life and professional experiences with curiosity and hope for growth. I believe in acceptance. Stigma, prejudice and discrimination from others/ourselves can be very painful and isolating. I believe on empowerment over our perceived weaknesses. Our mental health is precious as it impacts our perception, trust in our world and ourselves. My role as your therapist is to help you work towards the goals you set so that you can live your most fulfilling life with the freedom to be your true self.
