I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) LMFT that has been in the mental health field for 15 years. I have worked in different levels of care (mental health clinics, hospitals, and partial hospitalization programs). I'm certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional and work with children and teens that are feeling the heaviness of depression, anxiety, trauma and ADHD in their relationships with family, school, or friends.
I work in building rapport with the children and adolescents so they feel comfortable in sharing who they are. I lean toward evidence based therapies like TF-CBT, CBT, MCBT, Behavioral Modification, and Family Therapy while providing a safe and calming space for them to grow and thrive.
The first session is about building a connection that can provide you with a sense of safety to talk about what has been weighing on you. I truly want to learn about you and your life story, and together we will identify the obstacles you've been running into and the strengths you might not even know you have. At the end of our first session, I want you to walk away with clear goals and an understanding of what and how we're going to get there in this theraputic space.
