I am a Latina, neurodivergent (ADHD) therapist who clients have described as friendly, upbeat, and honest. I love to work with neurodivergent young adults who are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD. Clients who work with me tend to like joking in session, being challenged with compassion, and working collaboratively to work towards their goals. Together, we can identify your strengths, find ways to improve everyday life, and create a new understanding of what it means to have a healthy relationship with yourself and others.
I love to get into the science of mental health, so I love to teach the "why" in sessions. I use metaphors and visuals to make things clear. I also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help my clients meet their goals.
I've been told I am a bubbly, direct-but-kind therapist. I want to help you reach your goals and truly understand your symptoms or diagnosis. If I'm not the right therapist for you, I'll help you find someone else (because I genuinely want you to feel better). Visit my link, and schedule a free 15 minute consult so we can talk about if we'd be a good fit!
