Are you looking to heal, transform, understand, and manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, to achieve a more meaningful, fulfilling, peaceful, joyful, and balanced life? Are you interested in improving, tuning in, and accepting parts of you that may benefit from being explored? I understand that attending counseling may feel threatening, intimidating, and awkward at the beginning; however, the road often gets smoother as you experience it.
My approach
I utilize a loving, caring, and respectful approach. I specialize in Mind & Body, Family Systems, Attachment Therapy, Solution Focus, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a dash of spirituality. Spirituality is understood as the existence of a higher force with multiple names, including the best part of the individual.
My focus
I am willing to see individuals and have experience helping with anxiety, codependency, coping skills, depression, divorce, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, self esteem, spirituality, stress, and panic attacks.
My communication style
I am fluent in both English and Spanish. My communication style draws from attachment-based, behavioral activation, client centered, cognitive behavioral (CBT), compassion focused, culturally sensitive, eclectic, Gestalt, grief, humanistic, integrative/integral, interpersonal, mindfulness-based, motivational interviewing, solution focused brief (SFBT), strength-based, and supportive modalities.
My journey to mental healthcare
From July 2008 to March 2012, I completed my clinical hours for licensure at La Clinica De La Raza Great Beginnings in Vallejo, CA. This experience shaped my journey to becoming a mental health professional.
My goals for you
I hope to have the honor of collaborating with you on your path to a more fulfilling, healthier, joyful, peaceful, and balanced life. My goal is to support you in exploring, understanding, and transforming the parts of yourself and your life that you wish to improve.
My first session with you
I inform individuals that the initial assessment is not a sample of our therapy session, it is a key day to collect as much information as possible to have a respectful picture of the individual, to which we could add, adjust, or remove pieces for accuracy. I do review expectations and provide brief psychoeducation on their main concern for individuals to bring something valuable with them, until second contact.
