I offer over 15 years of experience in the field. I have a doctorate in school-clinical psychology and have worked in hospitals, clinics, and schools. The children, adults, and families that I have worked with over the years, along with my own Latino immigrant family upbringing, have helped shape how I approach my work, which involves providing a safe, empathic, nonjudgmental space with focus on my client’s resilience, strength, and ability to change.
Whether treating depression or anxiety, or helping clients struggling with relationship issues, my initial approach always involves providing a safe, empathic and non-judgmental space to share thoughts and feelings. I can help you recognize blind spots in your relationships, or identify faulty thinking patterns in your approach to the world. With children, I tend to focus on trust, connection, and parental guidance, as well as being attuned to each child's unique relationship with the world.
At minimum, clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, understood and with a better understanding of themselves. In my work with families, children should expect to learn skills to express emotions in productive ways and parents should learn ways of managing problem behaviors.
