Therapy style

I help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their resilience and inner strengths through my counseling services, specializing in trauma and PTSD, including separation of families, immigration issues, generational and childhood trauma, and more. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I provide a nurturing environment while also offering “Carefrontation,” a compassionate way to challenge negative beliefs that hinder your growth. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing various stressors related to undocumented and mixed legal status families, problems with acculturation, BIPOC issues, discrimination, depression, anxiety and stress, grief and loss, and life transitions. Additionally, I have training and experience facilitating English and Spanish Nurturing Parenting groups, as well as anger management and co-parenting classes.
