Welcome! Thanks for stopping by. As a therapist, I want to create a cozy space where you feel safe to talk about what's important to you.
Do you ever ask yourself, “What’s up with me?”, "Why do I feel like this?" or "Why is it so hard to show how I feel?" Don't worry, you're not alone. I've felt that way too, dealing with these questions in a world where emotions aren't always easy to talk about. It can be hard, especially when things get stressful.
Past events can keep affecting us for along time. Often, for longer than we expect. I am passionate about helping people figure out why they're hurting, digging into the ideas they grew up with, and learning how to be kind to themselves. We do all this by understanding how their feelings, thoughts, and actions affect relationships with yourself, your loved ones, and the world. In therapy, we’ll take a look at your past and what’s happening now, to help figure out how you got here and where you would like to go in the future.
I know it can feel like a lot and kind of scary when you're not sure what to do and you're trying to express your feelings. But, with therapy we can work together to figure it out to help you find your voice in all the confusion.
WHO I WORK WITH
I specialize in providing therapy to teens, young adults, adults, and couples. I've supported people facing challenges such as anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, life transitions, questions of identity, grief, conflicts in relationships, and attachment concerns.
WORKING WITH ME
As a Latinx therapist who speaks two languages and has worked with lots of different people, understanding different cultures is really important to me. I want to make a safe, friendly place where you can be yourself and get the support you need to feel better. You are a unique individual so I will take your lead and work with you in the way that suits you best.
My approach depends on my client's needs and what they seek in therapy. I like to use Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Informed approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help my clients develop the skills they need to live out the best version of themselves. I earned a Master’s degree in social work from Aurora University. I am a pre-licensed therapist under the supervision of Dr. Aretha Steele.
Let’s work together to make things change for the better. I'd be honored to be by your side as you heal.
FUN FACTS
In addition to my role as a therapist, I find joy in connecting with nature, staying active, discovering delicious new recipes, diving into captivating books, exploring new destinations, immersing myself in the vibrant atmosphere of concerts and festivals, and cherishing moments with my loved ones.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
You deserve to start feeling better. If you have more questions or want to talk with us first, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to help.
