About My Clients
I specialize in working with OCD, anxiety, substance use, adult children of alcoholics/ dysfunctional families, and relational issues. Whether you are having difficulty with repetitive behaviors due to your obsessions and compulsions, forming intimate relationships with others, struggling with unhealthy family dynamics, or having difficulty coping with life stressors and anxieties I am here to support you. When we work together we get to the root of your issues to create sustainable change.
My Background and Approach
I have received training in a variety of evidenced based treatments such as Exposure and Response Prevention, Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Drawing from my own multicultural background and experience as a Latina, child of an immigrant I am passionate and attuned to how one’s cultural background could be impacting their relationships and family dynamics. I am also passionate about exploring how intergenerational and legacy burdens can impact your mental health. Internal Family Systems is a holistic model to treating anxiety, PTSD, substance use and many other issues. IFS believes that we have multiplicity of mind (parts). These parts have their own personalities, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. We are made up of these internal parts that took on roles. We seek to understand and get to know these parts of us because it’s valuable. Sometimes this can look like talk therapy or guided meditations to bring you closer to your inner world.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Drawing from my own multi ethnic background as a Mexican-American woman, I weave multicultural issues and bring cultural and familial roles into the therapeutic space. I am passionate about weaving in education around historical and intergenerational trauma and how that can lead to anxiety and stress in my clients daily lives. I believe in the importance of finding a therapist who you believe is a right fit for you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to get a better sense of what it might be like to work with me.
