My Philosophy
I am glad you are taking the first step to seek help; I understand that searching for a therapist is not an easy task, and that is why I am here to work with you. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, families, and Hispanics, “Se Habla Espanol”; who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, anger, substance abuse, trauma, identity crisis, life transitions, and more. I believe in the mind, body, and spirit; therefore, I utilized a client-centered, holistic approach with evidence-based practices including expressive arts.
My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment and work where you are at this point in your life. I will walk you through this journey and explore the necessary tools to help you accomplish your goals and get to where you want to be. Together we will discuss current issues and stressors, experiences, strengths, values, and life challenges to help you transition to a better and healthier lifestyle to support your well-being.
