As a Bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (Spanish/English), I aim to offer you compassionate support, guidance, and a safe space to explore your innermost thoughts and emotions.
My counseling approach is rooted in humanistic principles, honoring your inherent capacity for growth and personal fulfillment. Alongside this, I prioritize cultural sensitivity and understanding diverse identities. I recognize the profound impact of cultural backgrounds, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and religion on experiences and perspectives. In our sessions together, I actively consider these cultural factors, ensuring an environment that is culturally responsive and inclusive.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or interpersonal challenges, I draw from evidence-based techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to support you on your journey.
So, if you’re ready to take that first step towards change and a more fulfilling life, know I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and cultural understanding. Feel free to reach out, and let’s start this transformative journey together.
