Growing up in a Hispanic culture, I was raised with the idea of keeping feelings and emotions internal. As I grew up, I began to notice that this was a common occurrence in individuals; sometimes individuals did not feel they had a safe place to talk about their thoughts without the worry of feeling judged. Therefore, I decided that I want to break this misconception and be someone who can allow individuals to have someone who will listen to them with compassion, understanding, and empathy. I learned that some of my own childhood traumas had shaped how I perceived the world and my outlook toward life.

We'll use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness and coping suggestions, and help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Common theoretical approaches I may frequently use can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I have also been trained to use the EMDR approach and may adjust my approach to meet your needs.

My approach is person-centered, warm, and nonjudgmental. You will be given a chance to have someone listen to you, enabling you to focus on your life goals. We may spend some time on rapport building, discussing some history. The session can be either in English or Spanish.
