Please describe your professional experience (this will be used on Therapist Finder)
As a bilingual (Spanish/English) licensed clinical social worker, I bring over seven years of expertise in supporting individuals through difficult times. During therapy, my goal is to support clients in discovering their strengths, increasing positive coping skills, building support systems, and developing a healthy lifestyle to set the foundation for life's success. I believe in a collaborative client-centered approach to therapy to allow clients to participate actively in the therapeutic journey. My approach helps to identify negative thought patterns, learn and understand where they come from, and work to change them.
I have experience treating children, adolescents, young adults, and adults in areas of anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal and family conflict, work stress, and trauma. In addition to this, I also have experience working with families, parents, and couples in creating a safe environment and enhancing/learning skills.
One of my key priorities is to create a safe and comfortable space for my clients. I understand the importance of allowing them to move through the therapeutic process at their own pace, while also providing gentle challenges when necessary.
