Hello and Buen Día to you all! It would be my pleasure & privilege to work with you. I am a Forensic & Family Psychologist. I have worked for the last 18 years with the Spanish speaking population in Oakland’s Fruitvale District supporting healing around trauma and a variety of issues from prevention to severe and chronic suffering. Being a family and forensic psychologist means that I work with families involved in the court system: divorce, child custody/arrangements, child abuse, removal and reunification and or juvenile detention. I enjoy working with families, children, couples, and adolescents. I believe our innate strengths.
In our first session, a lot is happening, but the most important part is the “conocimiento”. (the process of getting to know one another) For therapy to be successful building a solid connection is paramount. At that first meeting, we need to also confirm we have all the proper paperwork done and go over any important informational details about therapy.
Working with clients is an honor and I see myself as a partner in your healing. I bring my training, knowledge & experience and together with your willingness, experience and participation, I hope to walk the path of recovery together. As a team, we will find interventions and revelations.
