Great to meet you!

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience. I graduated from University of Las Vegas, NV where I have resided since 2007. As a Hispanic and bilingual clinician, I have extensive experience working with the Hispanic community; however, I have worked with clients of diverse backgrounds helping them overcome anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and grief. I provide my clients with a safe and open space, where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

A bit about my approach to therapy

In my practice, I utilize a variety of approaches including CBT, Interpersonal, Client Centered, Psychoeducational, and Family Systems. However, I believe that the most important part is being able to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship, based on respect, empathy, and self determination; I am here to help you find the answers within yourself, and reach the goals that you define.

What you can expect from our first session

While everyone may have a different experience, I expect my clients to leave sessions with a sense of relief, insight on themselves, and new perspectives on problems that once seemed unsolvable and overwhelming.
