About My Clients

I am passionate with working with individuals ages 13-adult. I specialize in treating a variety of areas including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, stress management, LGBTQIA+ identities, race and multicultural issues and complexities, abandonment, emotional disturbance, burnout, communication strategies, family concerns/issues, and self-esteem. I view each individual as a whole emphasizing the importance of emotional, physical, cultural and spiritual well-being.

My Background and Approach

My approach is using evidenced based practices to assist with accomplishing your goals. I am trained in multiple modalities to help find what works best for you and achieve the results you are wanting and provide new tools and tricks to assist with your wellbeing. I can also tailor my approach so that if you want more out of counseling practice work or "homework" we can focus on that or we have a more lax approach as well. Whether that be an increase of productivity, peace or even passion. I will be there every step of the way so that we start creating a path that you feel comfortable walking down. My goal is to assist you in creating or developing a life you love.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person does the best that they can with what they know. At times, many of us have challenges with reaching our personal or professional goals due to our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Counseling provides support and an opportunity to overcome the barriers that we experience, and I have personally been able to see the benefit that it has made in people's lives. I am a Latinx therapist, that is a child of immigrants, so my practice is culturally informed for care. I also do assist with different volunteer projects on my spare time. I love to support local causes as well.
