Hello, I am a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about working with individuals dealing with general mental health concerns, and partners looking to improve communication, manage conflict, and develop more satisfying connections. I received my clinical education and training at Columbia University with a Bilingual Latinx Mental Health Concentration. My treatment focus is integrative, influenced by multicultural, person-centered, and behavioral approaches. I have extensive training in behavioral therapies and trained in the The Gottman Method for relationship counseling.
I view psychotherapy as a collaborative experience aimed to help individuals/partners identify factors that are causing them distress, and learn coping tools to help alleviate them. It is important for individuals seeking my services to be self-motivate and dedicated to the therapeutic process.
Beginning your therapy journey can be challenging, but you have taken a key step by searching for a mental health care provider. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs, my therapy services, and determine if the level of care I offer is appropriate for you. If we both agree that we are a good fit, we will discuss the next steps.
