I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has been in practice since 2006. Throughout the years I have worked in different settings with individuals from all ages. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and individuals struggling to cope with symptoms of depression, anxiety, marital or interpersonal relationship problems. I am familiar with non-traditional love styles and my approach is kink-affirming and sex positive.
I utilize a psychodynamic approach in my work with individuals but believe the implementation of skills is sometimes necessary and utilize Cognitive Behavioral as well as Dialectical Behavioral skills. I am Latinx and both bilingual and bicultural that is inclusive to all genders, races, religions, cultures, and the LGBTQIA community.
“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” - Fred Rogers. Contact me and let me help facilitate your growth and self-actualization through knowing yourself more deeply in the context of therapy.
