Hi! I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Welfare degree. I use a person-centered, holistic, and integrative approach to address the mind, body, and spirit.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centered. I integrate various techniques, including mindfulness and body-based practices, to support my clients in shifting unwanted patterns, reconnecting to their spirits and bodies, and coming to a practice of self-acceptance and self-compassion.
My focus
I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals of all ages with diverse backgrounds – primarily focused on the Latinx community. I've worked with individuals affected by trauma, childhood and attachment trauma, racism, oppression, discrimination, first and second-generation immigrant issues, stress, educational/career/employment issues, life transitions, and parenting and relationship issues.
My communication style
I come into the therapeutic relationship with curiosity and compassion to support my clients to improve their well-being by reconnecting to themselves. I strive to create a sacred space for my clients during their healing process and believe that all individuals have it within them to reconnect to their strengths, recover, and heal.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Social Welfare degree at UCLA. I completed my clinical hours at a community mental health clinic in the Los Angeles area.
My goals for you
I work to create a safe and welcoming space for my clients to support them in meeting their goals so that they can move from surviving to thriving. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner strengths, recover, and heal.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will begin to explore your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. I will listen with empathy and work to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and emotions. Together, we will start to develop a therapeutic plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.
