I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor with more than three decades of varied clinical experience in working in medical/rehabilitation outpatient clinics. As a clinician, I have been described as warm-hearted, passionate, meeting people where they are, and always willing to acquire new skills while progressively building upon existing ones.
I understand that sharing one’s lived experience is a process that takes courage and happens within the context of a trusting alliance built over time. I focus on building a professional and respectful relationship with clients from the moment we meet. Each individual is an expert on their story and my role is to listen with openness, patience, and compassion to provide a journey toward healing, recovery, joy, and hope.
I will welcome you on a journey to grow into your best self. I will hold space for you and support you to gain insight and make the changes you seek. I have been a dedicated therapist for more than 30 years and have helped many overcome the challenges that block them from living a life of their choice.
