I am truly excited that you decided to give counseling a try and let me help you alleviate your emotional pain, and become the very best version of yourself!

 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Professional Mental Health Counselor, and a Life Coach. I have been facilitating inpatient and outpatient mental health therapy for over 25 years and have more than 30 years of experience working alongside people to help them achieve positive changes in their lives and their communities. My style of therapy is informal, compassionate, and responsive to each person’s unique needs.

 

My goal is to guide you to explore your concerns and build a greater understanding of the different
aspects of your experience, from the emotional, mental, and physical to the family, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. Using different evidence-based techniques, I will help you reconnect to existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make.

 

During our first session, most likely, you'll find yourself talking about your current symptoms or struggles, as well as speaking a bit about your relationships, your interests, your strengths, and your goals. Most importantly, in that first session, you will begin making a connection with me as your therapist.

 

As a bilingual, multicultural psychotherapist, I consider that my cultural diversity constitutes an essential tool to practice mental health therapy competently, as well as, a nonjudgmental, compassionate approach when treating clients needing emotional regulation and holistic wellbeing.

 

When I am not working, I enjoy traveling the world, exploring nature, practicing my faith, spending time with my family and my two cats, and volunteering in the community.

 

I am looking forward to working with you very soon!
