Introduction

I am a bilingual counselor at New Insights Behavioral Health Services. I’m a lifestyle and career expert committed to helping adults & adolescents learn how to better their lifestyle choices that support their personal life (friendships, relationships, life transitions) and careers. I am bilingual in English & Spanish. I have experience working with a wide spectrum of clients from diverse backgrounds who experience issues around adjustment disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and low self-esteem. I’m passionate about supporting adults & adolescents in a holistic, culturally competent, client-centered, and strength-based manner I work towards getting to know my clients from a cultural, and spiritual lens and in the language that they are most comfortable with. I work with my clients in an empathic manner and provide a safe space. I believe there is strength within and there to support you in reaching your therapeutic goals. I have over 5 years of experience in community mental health supporting individuals with severe mental illness in supported employment. I lean on different evidence-based modalities but believe in being creative and adapting my approach based on my client’s specific needs and learning styles. There is no one size fits all approach.
