Achieving peace of mind is a worthwhile goal. When was the last time you put yourself first in the daily grind of taking care of, or doing things for, others? I personally tailor therapeutic strategies to your individual unique needs. I work from a trauma-responsive, strengths-based, and client-centered approach while balancing practical strategies you can walk away with. I can help you navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, family and relationship issues, as well as employment and student stressors. I support in areas of maternal MH, foster care and adoption, and in an LGBTQ+ -affirming environment.
I am a bilingual licensed clinical social worker with many years experience working with individuals, couples, parents, and families of diverse backgrounds and walks of life. I worked as a therapist, supervisor, and director across many programs and clinics. As a 1st generation Latina, I believe in the importance of culture, race, ethnicity, and upbringing.
You will feel seen, heard, and understood. I am not an expert in your life, you are. My mission is to support you to heal and grow, to achieve your balance. You can rest assured knowing that you are in a no judgment zone. Reach me via email or text, and we will walk the walk together, not just talk the talk. Check out insurances I accept, also private pay.
