Great to meet you!

******I do have other times available and earlier time, message me and we will find a time that works for your schedule.******

Looking for help managing emotions? I am here to help. Finding the right counselor can be challenging. It is something that should be done in a safe, non-judgmental environment that is individualized to meet your needs to help you feel validated and understood. I aim to help provide you with tools to use in combination with your strengths to improve your mental state. When you reach out for help I will return every call or email.

As a licensed social worker for over 14 years, I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, relationship distress, and stress and time management issues in both English and Spanish. My experience has extended from community centers, in home therapy and integrative medical settings with underserved communities. I have also worked for many years with domestic violence victims and immigrants. A variety of types of therapy are utilized including Behavioral Activation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Focused Treatment, and Problem-Solving techniques.

My approach to therapy

My counseling style will be structured to meet your needs and varies with each client so please feel free to let me know any that is or isn't helpful or specific areas you would like to address. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help.

What you can expect from me

I'm sorry you are having a tough time right now, but I'm really glad you are reaching out. I'd like to help you work on the struggles you are facing; and offer you a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings, explore with you to help better understand why things are the way they are, and work towards solutions.
