Introduction

FIRST IMPRESSIONS MY JOURNEY • I became a therapist because at a very young age I felt an innate aspiration to be of service. Growing up queer, in an untraditional household and in an inner city, I know firsthand the struggles and challenges that individuals, couples, and families are faced with. I’m certain that my life experiences and my professional skills make a purposeful balance to help others achieve a sense of peace and hope. MY CLIENTS • I work individuals who are struggling with symptoms of trauma and stressors of everyday life. Most of my clients simply need a listening ear and a welcoming space to vent without being judged. They are motivated to improve, but need someone who believes in them for guidance, encouragement, support and constructive feedback. I also work with individuals who have survived trauma of varying degrees, including, accidents, childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual harassment, neglect, exploitation, and other disturbing experiences. MY APPROACH • In my practice, I use Affirming Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, Reality Therapy, Strengths-Based, and Solution-Focused Therapy. EMDR is used to treat trauma and emotional disturbances. EMDR is a relatively fast-acting therapy with significant and scientifically proven improvement. Some studies have shown that more than 80% of trauma victims were no longer diagnosed with PTSD after EMDR therapy. Through these approaches, clients gain confidence, a sense of control, and healthy coping skills to move forward with life. MY STYLE • During sessions with me, you can expect warmth, humor, professionalism, and care. My style of therapy is through spirituality, identity-affirming, authenticity, transparency, and through metaphors/analogies. Healing will take work, so we will go at your pace, and I will genuinely enjoy being there for you every step of the way. MY GOALS FOR YOU • My approach to goal setting starts with flexibility, exploring all options, defining the pros and cons, and utilizing all available tools and resources. Together, we will sort out your thoughts and co-create the best plan that works for you. MY FIRST SESSION WITH YOU • The first couple of sessions will be for us to begin a trusting relationship. We will unpack your concerns, your experiences, and the circumstances that encouraged you to seek therapy. I will provide you with an understanding of the therapeutic process and what to expect in our sessions. Like a puzzle, we’ll discover your strengths and learn the techniques that work best for you one piece at a time.

If I get the privilege to meet you, I’d love to hear your story. * * * If you are having a psychiatric or medical emergency, please call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest emergency room. You can also reach the mental health crisis line by calling or texting 9-8-8. * * * ~~~~~~~~~~~ E S P A Ñ O L ~~~~~~~~~~~ MI TRAYECTORIA • Decidí ser terapeuta porque desde muy joven sentí una aspiración innata de servir a los demás. Al haber crecido en un hogar poco convencional, conozco de primera mano las dificultades y los desafíos que enfrentan las personas, las parejas y las familias. Estoy segura de que mis experiencias y mis habilidades profesionales, ofrecen el equilibrio adecuado para ayudar a otros a alcanzar el sentido de paz y esperanza. MIS CLIENTES • Trabajo con personas que sufren debido a un historial de trauma al igual que con personas con estres de dia a dia. La mayoría de mis clientes simplemente necesitan sentirse escuchados en un espacio acogedor para desahogarse sin ser juzgados. Están motivados para mejorar, pero necesitan a alguien que crea en ellos, alguien que los guíe, los anime, y los apoye con sugerencias constructivas. También trabajo con personas que han sobrevivido trauma de diferentes niveles, ya sea accidentes, abuso en la niñez, violencia doméstica, acoso sexual, negligencia, explotación y experiencias perturbantes. MI ENFOQUE • En mi consultorio, utilizo EMDR, Técnica de Consciencia, Terapia de la Realidad, Terapia Basada en Fortalezas y Terapia Centrada en Soluciones. EMDR se utiliza para tratar traumas y trastornos emocionales. EMDR es una terapia de acción relativamente rápida con mejorías significativas y científicamente comprobadas. Algunos estudios han demostrado que mas de 80% de sobrevivientes de trauma dejaron de ser diagnosticadas con trastorno de estrés postraumático (PTSD) después de participar en terapia EMDR. A través de estos enfoques, los clientes adquieren confianza, una sensación de control y habilidades de afrontamiento saludables para seguir adelante con su vida. MI ESTILO • Durante las sesiones conmigo, puede esperar calidez, humor, profesionalismo y cuidado. Mi estilo de terapia se basa en la autenticidad, transparencia, espiritualidad y las metáforas. La sanación requiere esfuerzo e iremos a su ritmo y estaré a su lado a cada paso. MIS OBJETIVOS PARA USTED • Mi enfoque para establecer objetivos comienza con flexibilidad, explorando todas las opciones, definiendo los pros y los contras, y utilizando todas las herramientas y recursos disponibles. Juntos, ordenaremos sus pensamientos y cocrearemos el mejor plan que funcione para usted. MI PRIMERA SESIÓN CON USTED • Las primeras sesiones nos servirán para iniciar una relación de confianza. Analizaremos sus inquietudes, experiencias y las circunstancias que le llevaron a buscar terapia. Le explicaré el proceso terapéutico y lo qué se podrá esperar en nuestras sesiones. Como un rompecabezas, descubriremos sus fortalezas y aprenderemos las técnicas que mejor le funcionen, pieza por pieza. Comuníquese conmigo o envíeme una solicitud de cita usando el enlance arriba si está interesado en una consulta gratuita. Si tengo el privilegio de conocerle, me encantaría escuchar su historia. * * * Si tiene pensamientos de suicido o se encuentra en una situación de emergencia que podría poner su vida en peligro, llame al 9-11 y pida ayuda o acude a la sala de emergencias más cercana. * * *
