What should a new client know about working with you?
Hi, I’m a licensed bilingual (Spanish) therapist in New Jersey, and I’m passionate about helping people find healing and balance in their lives. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership, so my style is warm, interactive, and tailored to your unique needs. I often draw from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support your growth.
I work with clients facing a variety of challenges, including trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Many people come to me feeling weighed down by past experiences or current stress, and together we create a safe space to explore, heal, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
My goal is to help you reconnect with the calm, grounded part of yourself that may have been overshadowed by pain, chaos, or loss. And just so you know—you may occasionally spot my cat making a cameo appearance during our sessions. She takes her role as “co-therapist” very seriously, and most clients find her surprise visits bring a smile.
It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing, self-discovery, and hope for the future.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
-Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
-Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
-Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
-Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
-Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
-Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
