I specialize in supporting clients with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Complex Trauma/PTSD, Sexual Trauma, Substance Use, Anxiety, Depression, Family Conflict, Relationship Issues, Racial/Cultural Identity, Multicultural Relationships, Self-Esteem/Self-Worth, Life Transitions, Coping and Communication Skills, and more. I enjoy working with younger and older adults, as well as first-time therapy clients. I value a social-justice oriented, culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and sex positive approach to counseling. I am also conversational in Spanish and Brazilian-Portuguese, and can incorporate this in my therapy sessions.
I use evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Art Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I also use a person-centered, strengths-based approaches to create an empowering and welcoming environment for my clients.
It’s important to find a therapist you feel safe with, where trust can build over time. When you feel safe and understood, it becomes easier to open up, explore difficult emotions, and process challenges to create meaningful change. Feel free to contact me to schedule a free consultation or initial appointment. I look forward to hearing form you!
