Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. My focus is on working with children and their families to address relational and developmental issues, as well as trauma, anxiety, and behavioral/emotional difficulties.

My approach to therapy

I work from a relational and strength-based perspective; providing clients with a safe space for collaboration to identify strategies that help overcome difficulties that bring them to therapy. I am also certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is an evidenced-based treatment, directed towards parents and their children between 2 and 7 years old presenting social, behavioral and/or emotional difficulties.

What you can expect from me

I believe that therapy in the early years of life allows families to build positive life-long relationships and helps children develop to their highest potential. My experience and your knowledge about your child will allow us to successfully navigate difficult transitions, developmental challenges, as well as marked behavioral and/or emotional difficulties that your child might be presenting.
