Whether it’s your first time in therapy or returning for support, I aim to create a safe and welcoming space. I offer therapy in English and Spanish to support clients through life challenges and patterns that feel hard to break. Together, we’ll foster insight, confidence, self-compassion, and growth. My approach I take a collaborative, client-centered approach, shaping our work around what matters most to you. I use techniques such as CBT, ACT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to help you understand your experiences, build skills, and move toward positive change. My focus I work with teens and adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, and difficulties managing emotions. I help clients better understand their experiences, build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and apply what they learn to feel more confident and capable in their everyday lives. My communication style I focus on open, honest, and empathetic communication, listening closely to understand your perspective. I provide guidance and feedback while adapting to your needs, creating a safe space where you can share freely and feel supported throughout our work together. My goals for you I help clients identify what matters most to them and turn it into clear, achievable goals. Together, we take manageable steps, adjust as needed, and work toward changes that make your day-to-day feel lighter and more manageable. My first session with you In our first session, we focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. I take time to learn about your goals, strengths, and challenges while answering any questions you have about the process. Together, we begin shaping a plan that feels comfortable, practical, and tailored to your needs.
