Soy una trabajadora social licenciada. Obtuve mi maestría en trabajo social en la Universidad de Gotemburgo, Suecia. Creo que la curación es una empresa colectiva que requiere un cuidado honesto sin juzgar. Ayudo cooperativamente a los clientes a identificar sus objetivos de tratamiento. En lugar de adoptar una metodología para todos los individuos y problemas, extraigo una variedad de métodos para generar una estrategia adecuada. Tengo experiencia trabajando con niños pequeños, adolescentes, parejas y adultos.

Recuerdo el momento cuando mis amigxs me recomendaron ir a terapia. La verdad, no creí que eso funcionaría para mí o para mi familia. Tenía miedo de hablar de mis cosas personales con alquien desconocido, me hacía sentir mucha inseguridad y me daba miedo sentirme vulnerable. Pero también sabía que no me gustaba la soledad y el malestar emocional que sentía. No quería que me dieran pastillas para aliviar mi dolor. No quería sentirme como un ratón de laboratorio. Me costó trabajo pedir ayuda. Quería que alguien me escuchara y entendiera, porque ya no quería sentir esa soledad y desesperación.

Terapia psicológica es una experiencia donde uno puede buscar el cambio de vida que necesita. La alianza terapéutica entre terapista y paciente es importante en su trayecto de cambio cuando estás buscando tu autorrealización. La experiencia creada con mis pacientes en la oficina es una que trae comodidad para expresarse y confrontar factores que han limitado su progreso anterior. Utilizando terapia de arte, EMDR, y apoyándote donde estás en tu vida, podré ayudarte lograr y continuar esos cambios de vidas, emociones, y pensamientos que en el pasado te han contenido. Estoy aquí para apoyarte en realizar tu progreso.

I am a bilingual licensed psychotherapist, I received my Master's in Clinical Psychology & Counseling at Chestnut Hill College. My professional approach includes a holistic alternative focus in combination with traditional talk therapy. I have been a practicing clinician since 2012. I have experience working with a variety of people facing many different life situations. Typically focusing on the following areas: trauma, depression, mood disorders, anxiety, fears, self-harm, child & adolescent, domestic violence, family conflict, emotional disturbance, anger management, coping skills development, sexual abuse, grief, impulse control, relationship complications & growth.

I'm here to help you heal your trauma, whether that presents as PTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, or any of the persistent difficulties that may show up after living through one or more experiences that compromise your basic sense of safety. You deserve peace and joy, and I can help you find it!

Whether you are looking to form new coping skills, enhance your self-concept, or improve relationships with loved ones, we are caring professionals ready to help you realize your goals!

We support individuals in empowering oneself and finding one's passion in life.

Let's invent together a way beyond your suffering or problematic repetitions. I use creative language play to release unconscious tensions manifesting as symptoms. In psychoanalysis you can elevate your agency by recognizing your own unfolding processes without the pressure to change. My attention will be focused on the linguistic and homophonous patterns of your unconscious as manifested in your speech, with the aim of distilling the suffering from your words and possibly producing a creative practice in its stead. To that end I will invite you to speak.

I specialize in helping your child, adolescent and family cope with trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, and behavior concerns. I have over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced various traumatic events, such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, community violence, domestic violence and divorce. I have also worked with victims of trafficking, violence, and undocumented immigrants. My recent practice has focused on improving parent-child relationships by using parent coaching sessions to decrease behavior problems and increase social skills and cooperation.

We move through institutions of power our entire lives. First, family, then we form friends at school, fall in love in college, maybe grow close to others in religious communities. Along the way, we encounter experiences that enable us to become more of our authentic selves. Sometimes, these experiences are less than ideal, other times, these experiences are more traumatizing than we originally thought. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, are a few things that manifest and these are the PTSD-related symptoms that I specialize in.

Our mission: Mental health for all we serve. Our passion: Helping you achieve mental health. Life can be hard. We all have challenges. We all experience loss, stress, grief and, at some point, all of us feel overwhelmed. The team at Behavioral Healthcare Corporation has been helping people just like you deal with life's issues and restore their mental health since 2002.
