My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began when I was 7 years old. I lived on both sides of the tracks. My father was well off, and my Latin mother was a single and middle to low-income parent. Weekends were spent with all the things a child would want, and during the week, I was a latchkey kid. This became the foundation for speaking nationally on a parenting book I wrote.

My goals for you

As the therapeutic process begins, identifying goals is highly important. Clients will learn that often the goal is 'easier said than done'. My perspective is showing a client how to assess their goal to make sure they are not setting themselves up for failure. Habits take approximately 28 days to start and/or end.

Our first session

You'll find that I am the type of therapist who speaks my mind in our first session. This means that I will inform you of what you should expect and receive from me in therapy. I will inform you of my therapy styles and what is needed from you in order to experience success. Lastly, if you want to change to another therapist, I am not offended.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White, Hispanic or Latinx
• Christian, Non-denominational
