Therapy style

I strive to help guide my clients toward making changes and identifying their personal strengths. I approach the therapeutic relationship by offering a safe space and a solid relationship. Whether this be through a systems, humanistic, or behavioral approach, my goal is to tailor interventions to each individual and their own experience. My therapeutic goals center around helping communities heal by addressing systemic barriers that affect mental health both inside and outside of the therapy office. Some of the focal points in my clinical work are trauma, self-esteem, mood disturbances, and disordered eating.

Approaches

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP or EXRP)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Solution-focused
  • Strengths-based

Education

MA - Clinical Psychology, Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy-Latina/o Communities, Pepperdine University

Interests

I enjoy running, hiking, spending time with my two dogs, going to concerts, and listening to live music. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and investing in myself with a lot of self-care.
