About me
Whether you are struggling with long-standing issues or new challenges, you don't have to do it alone. I am a fully licensed therapist, experienced in helping adults overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship issues. I provide my clients with a safe and open space, where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I believe that therapy is a journey to reconnect and understand yourself better, while developing tools that will assist you in dealing with the inevitable challenges that life presents to all of us.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience. I graduated from University of Las Vegas, NV where I have resided since 2007. As a Hispanic and bilingual clinician, I have extensive experience working with the Latino/Hispanic community, and appreciate working with individuals of the most diverse backgrounds. My approach to therapy is not only help you to develop coping skills, but also work core aspects that would potentially lead to more sustainable results. I understand that starting therapy can be an overwhelming step as revisiting aspects of your life can be uncomfortable; that's why in our work together you can always expect to be on the driving seat, setting the pace for your own healing process. If you think that we may be a good fit, contact me so we can schedule a free phone consultation.
