My most passionate work is with adolescents and adults on trauma, anxiety, identity, relationships, self-esteem, and school/work related issues. I have over 14 years of experience providing therapy in diverse settings, with a focus on culturally-diverse clientele. I conduct therapy in English and Spanish.
I provide specialized treatment for trauma (EMDR; Eye Movement, Desensitization, and Reprocessing, Level II). EMDR is an empirically-based treatment that not only helps to alleviate the pain related to trauma, but helps people process difficult issues or feelings of being “stuck” in their lives.
My practice style is strength-based, helping clients identify their resiliencies, access their support systems and develop coping skills and tools. Additionally, my goal-oriented style is client-centered: clients develop their own goals and collaboratively we work to establish steps toward achieving these goals.
I invite you to give me a call to discuss any questions you may have. If we decide that there is a good fit between what you need and what I offer, we can meet in person. During our first session, we can discuss the reasons that you are seeking assistance, how I can best help, any questions that you may have about therapy or anything else that you feel is important to you. Subsequent meetings will generally happen weekly and will focus on the goals that you establish.
