My communication style

My communication style is warm and nurturing, creating a safe and inviting environment for clients. I prioritize building rapport and trust, which allows me to be direct when necessary, helping you identify areas of improvement you may not recognize. Working with me feels supportive yet constructive.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began in my teenage years. As a first-generation Mexican-American, I faced traumas that I didn’t fully understand until I engaged with the mental health system and experienced my healing. That experience ignited my desire to help those who, like me, may not have the resources available to them.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative process, working closely with you to identify meaningful and achievable objectives. Throughout treatment, I prioritize regular check-ins on these goals to assess our progress. If we notice that progress stalls, I encourage open dialogue so we can reformulate goals together.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where I focus on building our therapeutic relationship. I’ll take the time to listen and fully understand the presenting problem that brings you to therapy, ensuring that I grasp your unique situation and concerns.
