Greetings, and thank you for the opportunity to share a bit about myself. As a licensed professional counselor in Oregon and a licensed mental health counselor in Washington, I approach psychotherapy as a transformative journey of self-discovery. I am particularly drawn to clients who are navigating life's intricate challenges, seeking support in understanding and overcoming feelings of being stuck, empty, or overwhelmed. My focus is on assisting individuals in uncovering creative solutions and fostering resilience as they navigate their unique paths.
I do not offer initial consultations, our first appointment is an opportunity to see if we are a good match. I facilitate collaborative psychotherapy, aiming for relief by understanding challenges, enhancing coping, and fostering change. Trained in evidence-based methods (CBT), trauma-informed care, and culturally sensitive gender-affirming approaches.
As a bicultural, bilingual Latina counselor proficient in English and Spanish, I acknowledge the vital influence of cultural identity. Rejecting a standardized psychotherapy model, I champion personalized approaches. Employing evidence-based methods, I aim to customize therapeutic strategies, ensuring optimal relief for each client's unique needs.
