About My Clients
Often times counseling involves an element of discomfort, emotional pain, and vulnerability. We all have unique and rich personal histories that consist of success, fear, loss, and possibly trauma. My goal as your therapist is to meet you where you are with empathy and understanding. I work from the belief that you are the expert on your life and my role is simply to offer support, tools, and techniques that can help you enhance your overall well-being.
My Background and Approach
My approach to counseling varies based on individual needs. It is heavily influenced by client-centered and strengths based perspectives. Together we will take time to explore and understand the various parts of yourself that may be in conflict about what decisions to make, how to navigate issues, or which direction to go in life. By spending time understanding our parts in this way, we can gain insights into what may be hindering our ability to live in a truly authentic way. I tend to incorporate mindfulness strategies into sessions and have found great value in providing psychoeducation to enhance the understanding of human behavior and tendencies. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am also mindful of the particular impact trauma may have in our lives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a huge proponent of the power of therapy- I truly believe in what I do. I have seen clients change their lives in ways they doubted were possible and I am always humbled and grateful to those that allow me to be part of this process. My own identity as a Latina and bilingual counselor, has also given me a deep understanding and appreciation of the cultural and minority issues many of my clients face. No matter your background, I'm hopeful that counseling will be an enriching and useful part of your journey to wellness. And I'd love to join you.
