Whether it's reflecting on their parenting, navigating romantic relationships, or fostering a positive self-view, I am here to create a safe space for exploration and growth. I support my clients as they explore connections between their past experiences and their present challenges.
Together, we address the roots of these struggles and work towards alleviating their impact on daily life. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work is supporting clients in gaining a new perspective of themselves. Through our therapeutic journey, my clients often uncover the role that trauma has played in shaping their self-perception. Witnessing their transformation as they shed old narratives and embrace a more empowering self-view is deeply rewarding. Trauma can influence our beliefs about ourselves and the world, our ability to trust others, our sense of safety, and how we regulate our emotions.
Even seemingly small experiences can have a significant impact, especially when they occur repeatedly or in a vulnerable stage of life. Therapy is your starting point to begin processing. Anxiety is often the first mental health symptom that we notice, and the one we are most comfortable admitting out loud. Depression can affect every aspect of our lives, from our mood and thoughts to our physical health.
I understand that immigration processes can be complex and challenging, especially when it involves cases of Violence Against Women Act VAWA and hardship waivers.
I also offer evaluations for U visas and T visas. Available in Spanish and English. When experiences in your past feel too painful to revisit in therapy, EMDR is an incredibly powerful tool for healing. EMDR and IFS used separately, or together, can help you heal through flexing the imaginative, compassionate, and creative side of your inner self. Along with my EMDR certification, I have Level 1 IFS training, and I can combine the two modalities , empowering you to connect to yourself as you reduce the impacts of your past experiences.
