Hi there, I'm Rocio!

I know that starting therapy can be scary sometimes. Please know that I acknowledge what a big step you are taking. You are not alone, and I want to help you feel unstuck, heal, and live the life you desire.

My focus

I have worked with many clients with sexual abuse and assault in their history. As well as women's health. I have worked with many clients' men and women that are feeling stuck, depressed and anxious. I work from the belief that people are never passive in the face of trauma and that everyone has resiliency.

My approach

I work from a narrative framework and a worldview lens. I am also trained in EMDR and DBT. I believe in collaboration and exploring not just the problems in your life but also what makes you happy, excited, and relationships that matter and make a difference. EMDR can be useful to help us move through trauma when words hinder the process.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, curious, and non-judgmental. I stay calm in the face of critical moments and focus on helping you get through difficult moments. I am an active listener and work collaboratively to find meaning and solutions to live the life you want.

My journey to mental healthcare

My past work experiences with survivors of domestic violence and veterans have shaped my understanding of the impact of trauma. Despite very difficult life experiences, people have the capacity to be resilient and heal from pain. It is my life's work to help others find that healing.

My goals for you

We are always working actively to create goals that are reasonable and attainable given your life experience, resources, energy, and support.

Our first session

During our first session, I would like to get to know what is precious and important to you. I also like to know what you have already tried, what has worked, and any other major life factors that impact you coming to therapy. I want to make sure you feel comfortable and welcomed.
