My communication style

I create a safe space for all my clients. My communication style is warm and firm, providing validation and guidance as needed. I hope you feel heard, respected, and valued in every session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I experienced barriers to accessing mental health services and the stigma around it in my community. I know what it feels like to have a loved one go through difficult times alone. My clients don't have to do it on their own.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about working in collaboration to identify what you want to accomplish in therapy. This starts by building trust, talking about what therapy is, and exploring expectations. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently. I'll ask questions to better assess and understand what may be contributing to these feelings. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there.

I identify as...

• Female
• Hispanic or Latinx
