Mi compromiso como terapeuta es ofrecerte un espacio cálido, seguro y sin juicio donde puedas explorar tu historia, tus emociones y tu crecimiento personal. Juntos exploraremos cómo tus experiencias pasadas, relaciones e influencias culturales han moldeado tus pensamientos, emociones y comportamientos actuales. A través de preguntas abiertas y directas, estrategias de atención plena, técnicas de regulación emocional, afirmaciones compasivas y el replanteamiento de pensamientos irracionales, te ayudaré a desarrollar habilidades prácticas para manejar la ansiedad, depresión, trauma, duelo, TDAH y dificultades en las relaciones.
Me especializo en trabajar con personas bilingües y multiculturales, abordando temas como el trauma individual e intergeneracional, las expectativas de rol, la crianza de hermanos o adultos mayores, el acoso escolar, el perfeccionismo, la vergüenza, la evitación, y más. Entiendo cómo estos factores pueden influir en tu salud mental y emocional.
Creo firmemente que las personas pueden sanar o desarrollar la fortaleza emocional necesaria para vivir con el impacto de sus experiencias. Estoy aquí para ofrecerte esperanza, claridad y acompañamiento en tu camino hacia el bienestar.

Groups
Teen Group- Virtual & In-person ($50)
Starts - Sept. 7 - The goal of this group is to provide teens with a greater sense of energy or zest, knowledge of self and other, capacity to act, sense of self-worth, and desire for further connection. Members will learn to express their feelings appropriately and to contain them in healthy ways by using self-soothing techniques; have a safe environment to understand feelings and how to work through emotions; learn critical thinking in which they first consider their thoughts and feelings and then make decisions; and learn autonomy and make changes or positive choices in their behaviors (risk taking and relational).
