Unsurprisingly, the pandemic has triggered a wave of mental health issues. Whether it’s managing anxiety, depression, social isolation, or just general stress from COVID-19. Navigating and handling life stressors can be difficult. However, it can be easier if you have support. I invite you to allow me to guide and enable you to improve your emotional wellbeing.
As a Hispanic female, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and a therapist, I hope to support individuals overcome cultural stigma of mental health in and outside of the Hispanic community. In my training I have worked with all types of mental illnesses and with all ethnic groups and age groups from newborn to older adults. I have a non-judgmental approach where I see every individual as a valued human who deserves to be heard and deserves to enjoy their life.
I utilize diverse treatment modalities, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused and structural and strategic family models. I have experience in helping individuals, couples, families, and children work through their difficulties. I have worked with marital and family issues, sibling relational problems, at-risk youth, depression, anxiety, blended families, divorce, anger management, LGBTQ, and family reunification. I trust that the right individuals show up at the right time, and I’m here for you.
