psyd, psychotherapist
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and welcome to my bio! I know that this step may have been very difficult to reach, but you are here! I believe that life transitions and events can shake us in ways that sometimes leave us questioning our decisions and our capacity to bounce back to our life. I also believe that our cultural and environmental surroundings as we grew up can have a significant impact on how we handle stress, interact with others, and communicate. During these times, it can be helpful and relieving to have someone to process, share, or grieve with. As a POC who also speaks Spanish I strive to
consider the systems that impact our ability to achieve what we want in life.
I like to take a gentle, but direct approach with my patients and employ a variety of evidenced based practices such as client centered, family systems, psychoanalytic and trauma informed techniques to help meet my patients where they are at and to best help them. I will work very hard to create a space of safety, familiarity, and trust so that I can best provide you with support and the assistance that you may need. Above all, it is my hope to help you discover your own strengths needed for sustaining long term change.
I have had the honor and privilege of working with adults who are
experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, postpartum difficulties, parental conflict, life transitions, family dynamics,
trauma, abuse, relationship dynamics, and other life challenges. I am eager to help and support you on your journey to becoming the best version of yourself.
Thank you.
