Great to meet you!

As a trauma-informed, EMDR and DBT trained clinical psychologist I employ evidence-based treatments and engage in frequent continuing education to help clients with C-PTSD, Narcissistic abuse, identity issues, low self-esteem, ethnic or racial discrimination, and boundary problems. I also employ Mindfulness based and person centered therapies. I specialize in Narcissistic abuse and PTSD. My typical client has experienced trauma, has boundary issues, needs help asserting self and improving self esteem. For Reviews: Search for Mindful Freedom Psychological Services Corp Reviews on Google Search. Hablo Espanol! Currently only VIRTUAL.

My clients struggle with identity issues, low self-esteem, difficulties asserting themselves, panic, and trauma. I have extensively experience treating minorities, as I am a minority myself. Cases accepted: patient functions at least to a moderate degree without caretaker, can work, can attend apts, and has had no frequent crises/active suicidality.

If you are ready to change your life this may be the single small step that drives you towards a monumental change in life. You have nothing to lose, except for an opportunity to learn more about yourself and the world around you. Please reach out, I am happy to help you!

My approach to therapy

I employ Evidence based treatments such as EMDR, DBT, and CBT. I additionally employ aspects of Family Systems, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness based, and Person Centered approaches to therapy. The way I approach therapy is the following: The client and provider are both equal team members. As the provider, I serve as a tool, as a guide to move the client towards improvement, change and enlightenment. The client is an active participant in their treatment and has full control over decisions and over what happens in his/her treatment as well as full responsibility for their progress/outcome.

What you can expect from me

In therapy you can expect an environment of safety and I do hope, sincerely, that in session you feel free to be your true self. A non-judgmental yet direct and honest communication style is what you can expect during session. I believe the patient is fully responsible for their treatment and I function as a source of suppport and guide. Sessions are aprox. 50 minutes and I often meet with clients weekly or every two weeks. Do have different needs? that's allright we will work it out together!
