Therapy style
As a bilingual Latino clinician, I have successfully used my clinical skills by applying Cognitive Behavior Therapy interventions and Motivational Interviewing, with individuals experiencing depression, PTSD and anxiety. My passion for clinical work, along with my interpersonal skills, has made me effective at building rapport with clients as they move through burnout, life transitions and through the stages of change. My ability to connect with clients at each step of the treatment process has helped them achieve successful outcomes, symptom stabilization, and self determination.
