Are you ready to overcome the past and get your life back? It is my goal to empower my clients to regain a sense of control over their lives and build resilience in the aftermath of difficult experiences or trauma. I tailor my interventions to meet the individual needs of each client and combine evidence-based practices with a person-centered approach. I am fluent in English and Spanish and I am passionate about working with the Latinx/e and Hispanic community.
I am certified in EMDR and use it to relieve symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and to process many other issues. I also incorporate mindfulness-based techniques, parts work, and CBT. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for those who are interested.
If you are ready to get started or you would like to learn more about working with me, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call. I understand that reaching out for help can be a big step, and I want to commend you for taking that step in your healing journey. I look forward to speaking with you!
