Therapy style

I believe in building a trusting relationship that leads to the empowerment of my clients. In our work together, my priority is for you to feel safe in being yourself and expressing your experiences. I have 15 years of experience as a mental health professional with the opportunity to work with various ages and backgrounds in different clinical settings. I have experience providing bilingual (English and Spanish) individual therapy and use a person-centered approach when working with clients. I utilize concepts and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. In addition to using these modalities, I am skilled in crisis intervention, risk assessment, and exploring ways to achieve harm reduction. I have experience treating several mental health issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, PTSD, psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, grief and loss, and family and relationship stressors. I am passionate about normalizing mental health treatment and I believe that access to mental health care is a right and not a privilege.
