I am a social worker with close ties to the Latino community, I connect with each client in a gentle manner that allows them to feel truly heard, understood, acknowledged, and validated. Counselling and Social Work are my passion and life's calling. I strive to create a warm space where clients feel safe and comfortable in discussing difficult experiences that they are currently facing, in sharing past traumas and difficulties, and in planning to meet future challenges. I enjoy helping clients to experience renewed feelings of hope for the future and discover new possibilities for moving forward in a way that works for them.
I use an anti-oppressive, and solution-focused approach to support clients in noticing, building on, and using their own strengths, strategies, and solutions to become more empowered and make progress toward their goals. I understand that a great therapeutic relationship is built on transparency and genuineness, as this creates trust and mutual respect.
As a therapist at Become Resilient Individuals (BRI) Counselling Services, I create a warm, safe, welcoming and brave space where all voices can be heard, challenges overcome, and lives transformed. The BRI Counselling mission is to ignite hope, build strengths and empower people to become more resilient in all aspects of life.
