My communication style

I utilize active listening to provide a safe and supportive space to communicate your needs and process your feelings. I communicate in a caring, supportive, yet direct way to help maximize our time together and bring up challenging conversations that need to be addressed.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a child, I often wondered why people do what they do. My interest in mental health began after taking my first psychology course. That was solidified when I began using mental health services to address my own needs. As a Latina woman, I want to be part of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

My goals for you

My caring and compassionate personality helps create a trusting, non-judgmental, and collaborative relationship where you can feel comfortable exploring areas of improvement. I support you in identifying and utilizing your strengths while building new skills and achieving meaningful changes. I believe you are the expert.

Our first session

During the initial session, I take the time to know more about your interests, strengths, and needs. I ask direct questions to ensure I am the best fit to address your mental health needs. You also get to know me and ensure this is a good fit for both of us. The first session is a screening session where we explore your mental health goals.
