I believe the start of a therapeutic relationship starts with humility and respect. I utilize the individual’s inner strengths to fulfill their therapeutic goals and enhance recovery. 

I have a rich history of working with adults and adolescents experiencing mental health disorders, ranging from depression to psychosis, anxiety, substance abuse, and trauma. I have worked with diverse populations and clients of different backgrounds. I also have experience in community outreach; as a community support specialist.

I have linked my clients to a large range of resources and provided the hands-on support they needed. I have training and experience in crisis intervention, trauma-informed therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, wellness management and recovery, and solution focused therapy.

I utilize client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and existential approaches in therapy. I also incorporate harm-reduction and holistic philosophies. The areas I specialize in are women’s wellness, family systems in a home with substance use, accepting feelings and thoughts related to adjustments in life, working on conflicts in inter/intrapersonal communications, mood regulation, crisis, and domestic violence. I believe that the client is the facilitator of change and benefits from supportive guidance.

The pillar of my therapy is the wellbeing of my clients, offering a relationship based on respect and honesty.  My commitment is help you to live the life you want to live by accepting what cannot be changed for what we can.  

I have experience as a clinical psychologist, I have worked with a wide variety of mental disorders from the most common such as anxiety and depression to those that affect the human psyche such as schizophrenia.
