English
| español Hi there, I'm Perla! I specialize in working with adolescents and adults. I feel truly passionate about supporting holistic mental health using an eclectic, individualized and evidence-based approach tailored to YOU. My practice is client-centered, strengths-based, collaborative and empathetic; relying on curiousity, authenticity and genuine caring. I want you to know you are not alone. I am here to meet you where you are at and move forward together as a team. Reaching out for help requires a lot of courage, insight, vulnerability, and a willingness to work hard. Without having yet met, I already know these are true about you.
I believe you are the expert of your own life; having unique insights, wisdom and strengths. I aim to create a safe space where you will not feel judged but, rather, unconditionally supported and heard. I believe one size does not fit all as we are all uniquely complex and multi-faceted. As a Latina, I can also provide counseling exclusively in Spanish.
During sessions, you will always be met with warmth, kindness, unconditional positive regard and playfulness. I use a biopsychosocial lens to understand how internal/external factors have shaped you and who you want to become. I am highly trained in evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, ERP and SFBT. I am here to support you in being your best self.
