We all struggle every now and then and while this may be a part of life, struggling in solitude does not have to be. Finding a therapist that accepts who you are while simultaneously encouraging you to grow into the person you want to become can help you activate the potential that you already possess. I believe that therapy can be an incredibly transforming journey when a safe, open, and welcoming environment is created where you feel seen and understood. My therapeutic approach is rooted in person-centered therapy in which empathy, self-exploration, and strength activation are major themes. I also emphasize building resiliency through nourishing confidence, increasing coping skills, and strengthening problem-solving skills. When working with adolescents and families, I integrate my prior work as a Registered Behavioral Technician in which I provided ABA therapeutic services to children on the spectrum. I also draw from my research on the effects of divorce on children and adolescents as a basis for understanding family dynamics. I offer services in both English and Spanish and am motivated in integrating art therapy into my work.
