Great to meet you!

I believe that finding the right therapist to assist you in your journey is often like finding a pair of shoes that has the right fit. This process can be arduous & can deter people from pursuing counseling. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing what can be painful topics & issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy and reach their goals. I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community and I offer therapy in Spanish as well as I'm fluent in the language and am knowledgeable about the Latin cultures.

My approach to therapy

I offer a client-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach that creates a safe therapeutic relationship for personal empowerment. My evidence-based practices such as CBT, EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT & MI are tailored to meet your unique needs. Through ongoing education, I am able to provide the most up-to-date, evidence based techniques in my sessions with clients to increase their success in reaching personalized goals.

What you can expect from me

In my online therapy practice, I provide a warm and inviting space where clients can feel comfortable and safe as they work towards healing, restoration and recovery. My goal is to create a supportive, strengths-based, collaborative relationship, empowering clients to take control of their mental and emotional well-being. Each session I provide practical ways to help clients heal, cope and reconnect with their authentic, core selves in a way that leaves them feeling empowered and celebrated.
