Depression Therapists in Reading, PA

Change is never easy. There is an abundance of places to start and sometimes, it is places we have never been to or ever thought of exploring. The areas we need to explore are our history, family & friends, & environment. However, it is a firm belief that each & every person-no matter what they have done, felt, experienced, or believe about themselves, is capable of change & can commit to ways in which this change is lasting. Through a psychodynamic approach, I strive to work with clients to identify where their needs lie & where they may have started, along with taking a look at the path they are on or have taken before.

I have a background in applied psychology as well as ABA. I have been a mental health therapist for the past decade working closely with children, adolescences and adults both in Spanish and in English.

The focus of my education was in applied behavioral analysis and I often utilized strategies from this practice model along with an eclectic variety of strategies when working with those whom presented with depressive and anxiety disorders.

I believe it is important to honor where we’ve been, and to take an active role in where we are going. Nothing in life is static, yet navigating the relentless ebb and flow of life, with its ups and downs can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. An important role of mine is to cultivate a safe space where you feel seen, heard and safe, so you can freely share what is weighing on you. As social beings, we learn and heal best through connection with others. In fact, the brain is hardwired for relationship.
