Hello! I am a (English/Spanish) bilingual therapist with over 16 years of experience. I have a background in clinical psychology, human rights, family therapy and humanitarian/community psychology. There are many reasons why someone would start therapy. Your reason is as valid as any. I am here to help, my approach is systemic, multicultural, pragmatic, and trauma attuned.
I draw on strength-based strategies to support your growth, transference-focused frameworks to understand your relationship with yourself & others, mindfulness to build resilience and acceptance, systemic a to ensure we understand your truth; CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, narrative approaches to support your sense of self across time.
I care about your experience and how it connects you to your world. In our sessions, there will be space for your strengths and shadow self.
My hope is that during our first session we will become familiar with one another, while also collaboratively identifying treatment goals to guide our initial months of work. These goals are flexible and can change over time.
Sessions with me will feel like a conversation where you can come as yourself, while feeling heard and met with curiosity.
Overtime, I hope you will feel safe enough to explore difficult feelings that may arise and have a clearer perspective on how to face the challenges that brought you here.
