A bit about my approach to therapy

My goal as a Latina counselor is to provide a wide range of treatment modalities to create interest in learning, autonomy, and self-direction in order to best treat each individual client. Some modalities used in treatment include mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused.

Due to COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, all sessions will be conducted via telehealth. Together, we can stop the spread. Your physical health and mental health matter.

What you can expect from our first session

My therapeutic process is quite simple, creating a nurturing and trusting open space for my clients. I believe therapy is a place to grow and achieve wellness goals while using a range of modalities to meet each client's uniqueness.
