I will be honored to work in your therapeutic process. I have been working in a Clinical area where high risk and non-high risk patients have benefit from my services. I am a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish) that is mindful about how cultural factors influence our behavior. I have training and 5 years of experience under PCIT a (Parent and child interaction therapy) that helps to increase positive relationships in children and parents and decrease defiant behavior in children. I have training and 5 years of experience under TF-CBT which is a therapeutic modality to address trauma. I provide EMDR therapy. this type of therapy will help you to relive traumatic or triggering experiences in brief doses while I direct your eye movements. EMDR is thought to be effective because recalling distressing events is often less emotionally upsetting when your attention is diverted. EMDR is used in children and adults to relief different type of symptoms or diagnosis such as PTSD, anxiety, substance abuse and personality disorders. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions!
