Hello, I want to honor the courage it takes to seek counseling services and begin to work on yourself. I am here to offer support as you do the meaningful work that can transform your life. I am a Latinx bilingual therapist. As your therapist, I am here to support you in making meaning, creating comfort, and uncovering resources to help you be your best self. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where we can collaborate and work together to help you reach your goals. I work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds on issues including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, PTSD, and other mental health and life concerns. I work from a trauma focused, strengths-based, holistic and somatic approach taking into consideration all aspects that have brought you to therapy. I believe that everyone is different, therefore, what may work for one person, may not work for everyone, so I am trained in various treatment modalities and will work with you to find what works best for you. This may include a mixture of treatments that focus on your thoughts and how they impact your emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral therapy), as well as a focus on the ways in which various experiences impact the physical sensations of your body (somatic based therapies). In addition to traditional talk therapy I am also trained in Brainspotting and have completed a 200 hour yoga teacher certification which I utilize to help clients form deeper connections to themselves and to their bodies, if that is what they are seeking. While I have experience working with individuals of all ages, I specialize in working with adults that want to resolve traumatic experiences, body image/self-worth, difficult childhood experiences, relationship issues, identity/cultural issues, immigrant communities and issues of acculturation. In addition, I will help you explore various methods of managing stress using relaxation techniques. I look forward to hearing from you!
