I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, postpartum disorders, and life stress. I hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, with experience supporting individuals facing medical issues and those from diverse backgrounds, including sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, and immigration status. I'm a parent, Latina, and millennial.
First and foremost, I'm all about openness and collaboration. I tailor our focus to YOUR goals and values and utilize evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also incorporate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills and mindfulness/relaxation.
After our first session, you'll have some answers to questions like, "what is going on with me?" and "how can I get out of this funk?" You'll know my style and how I plan to help you improve your life and live out your values! Early sessions may focus on identifying a diagnosis, understanding your behavior, and forming plans for improvement.
