Introduction

MY JOURNEY. I became a therapist because at a very young age I felt an innate aspiration to be of service. Growing up 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. MY CLIENTS. I work with individuals struggling with stress, personal issues, and life transitions. I specialize in anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, and trauma. 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. MY APPROACH. In my practice, I use 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 100% of single-trauma victims and 80% of multiple trauma victims were no longer diagnosed with PTSD after six 50-minute sessions of 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, authenticity, transparency, and through metaphors. 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. Along the way, 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. If I get the privilege to meet you, I’d love to hear your story. Like a puzzle, we’ll discover your strengths and learn the techniques that work best for you one piece at a time. Please contact me or send an appointment request if you’re interested in a consultation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 y en un barrio marginal, 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 logran un equilibrio intencionado para ayudar a otros a alcanzar la paz. MIS CLIENTES. Trabajo con personas que luchan con estrés, problemas personales y transiciones de vida. Me especializo en ansiedad, depresión, neurodiversidad y trauma. La mayoría de mis clientes simplemente necesitan que alguien los escuche y un espacio acogedor para desahogarse sin ser juzgados. Están motivados para mejorar, pero necesitan a alguien que crea en ellos para que les guíe, los anime, les apoye y les brinde retroalimentación constructiva. También trabajo con personas que han sobrevivido trauma de diferentes niveles, ya sea abuso en la niñez, violencia doméstica, acoso sexual, negligencia, explotación, etc.. MI ENFOQUE. En mi consulta, 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 el 100% de las víctimas de un solo trauma y el 80% de las víctimas de múltiples traumas dejaron de ser diagnosticadas con trastorno de estrés postraumático (PTSD) después de seis sesiones de 50 minutos de 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 atención. Mi estilo de terapia se basa en la autenticidad, la transparencia, la espiritualidad y las metáforas. La sanación requiere esfuerzo e iremos a su ritmo y estaré a su lado cada paso del camino. MIS OBJETIVOS PARA USTED. Mi enfoque para establecer objetivos comienza con la flexibilidad, explorando todas las opciones, definiendo los pros y los contras, y utilizando todas las herramientas y recursos disponibles. Juntos, ordenaremos sus ideas 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. A lo largo del proceso, 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. Si tengo el privilegio de conocerle, me encantaría conocer su historia. Como un rompecabezas, descubriremos sus fortalezas y aprenderemos las técnicas que mejor le funcionen, pieza por pieza. Si le interesa una consulta, contáctame o solicita una cita.
