About My Clients
I work with teens and adults struggling with grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other life stressors. Typically, the individuals I work with want to process past trauma and grief, strengthen interpersonal and communication skills, deepen their understanding of their own behavioral patterns, and increase their distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills. I am fluent in Spanish and have experience and interest in working with latino/a/e first and second generation immigrants.
My Background and Approach
I am a a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in MA with seven years of experience. I have experience working in various settings including inpatient, outpatient, and schools. I have primarily worked with teens/adolescents and adults dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and BPD. I use a variety of modalities to tailor therapy to the needs of the individuals I am working with, including but not limited to, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, strengths-based, solution-focused, EMDR, and expressive arts. I have specialized training in grief counseling and EMDR. I work from the philosophy that the body is the seat of your emotional experience and holds deep internal wisdom. I intend to help you feel that your body can be a safe space and a rich resource in your recovery path. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the bedrock of therapy. Through that relationship, we can move into a deep exploration of the self and discover your own path to healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My experiences growing up as a second-generation Latina immigrant shape the way I view and conduct therapy. I work through an anti-oppressive lens and believe therapy should be tailored to each individual and hold space for the cultures, values, and identities that intersect and make up who we are. I view each individual as stemming from a wider network of roots. By uncovering them, you can deepen your humanity for yourself and access more healing.
