Accepting new clients! ¡Aceptando nuevos clientes! Are you going through a difficult time, finding yourself in a rut, or trying to break free from intergenerational trauma to become a better version of yourself? You don't have to do that alone! I'm a bilingual Spanish Speaking Licensed Therapist with over 7 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I'm experienced in Evidenced Based Practices such as Trauma Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapies, Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Crisis Intervention.
I began my career as a school social worker where I spent years providing tools for the youth and their families to better navigate systems and improve their mental health. I have a huge passion for advocating for the needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds like myself because I too have been on the other side of the couch (or screen nowadays)!
In my work,I believe that creating a safe environment for my clients will help them overcome their challenges and hope to continue to uplift communities of color. With dedication and passion, I believe that therapy is a powerful tool that can assist you in improving your quality of life. If this resonates with you let's get started on this journey together!
