About My Clients
Carl Jung once said "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become" As a trauma informed therapist, I have learned that healing is not linear, it takes time and courage. I am glad you're here. I have over eight years of experience working with people of all ages and different backgrounds. Some of my experience includes working with anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, trauma, gender-based violence, relationships, domestic violence and immigration.
My Background and Approach
I believe taking a holistic view in therapy, addressing the whole person in mind, body, spirit can bring out the healthiest, happiest version of ourselves. I work from a trauma-informed lens and utilize a multidimensional approach to therapy exploring each individual's biological, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. I understand that no two individuals are the same, therefore I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to counseling. I value the individuality & creativity of all clients. You are the expert of your own life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I became passionate about mental health after working seven years for the Criminal Justice System. I have worked with people of all ages and different backgrounds. The work I have done has focused on people from marginalized communities who have experienced trauma, such as abuse, gender-based violence, domestic violence, immigration and much more. Growing up in a first-generation Latina household, I witnessed the harmful effects of suppressing emotions and trauma. Counseling was viewed as useless and for people who were “crazy". I later learned that healing was possible, that pain and trauma can be transformed into courage and strength. Therapy is a vulnerable experience. Each individual has their own unique story to tell. I find importance in focusing on the whole person, to walk alongside of you and co-create a new narrative. Through empathic reflection and attunement, my goal is to create a safe space where you feel seen and heard.
