Is your fear limiting you and keeping you from achieving your full potential? Have you been feeling so overwhelmed that you don't know what to do? Have you lost hope? Many times we need help developing a concrete plan in order to make your imagination come true by all your efforts. However, acknowledging when we need help and asking for the help needed are the most difficult and crucial steps towards successfully achieving your goals.
I have extensive experience that includes working with diverse populations with a variety of issues. These issues involve, but are not limited to trauma. I have over 14 years of experience providing services to children, teens, individuals, families, and parents of diverse ethnic backgrounds. I am also bilingual (Spanish/English).
I specialize in Trauma Informed Counseling. I am certified in trauma counseling and trained in EMDR. I have completed extensive training, supervision, and consultation with the Child Trauma Institute of Greenfield, Massachusetts. I use a strength based eclectic approach of psychotherapy. I have also completed trainings in other types of psychotherapy.
