I approach therapy by creating a partnership between myself and my clients that provides them with the time to reflect, grow, and become the person they want to become. In my work, I aim to help individuals recognize the importance of self-care, navigate traumatic experiences, create boundaries, learn healthy communication, strengthen current relationships, and re-center their relationship with themselves.
I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma, people working to overcome social anxiety, and people exploring multi-cultural identities. Through a warm connection, I help you explore your life, heal from previous trauma, and improve your self-love. I am also particularly interested in working with people who have newly immigrated or grew up in a bi-cultural household, and I help people work through the chaos that can arise from navigating between your family’s values, American values, and your own values. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish to create a deeper level of understanding and connection.
I want our therapeutic space to become your time to practice self-care, and expand your general wellness. You are an individual who has many roles and sometimes your mental health (just like your physical health) might be pushed back. That is when we start to feel empty and we notice a shift into other areas of our life. Our time together can be the recharging for you to feel your best and continue to give back to all of your other roles--including to yourself--with more balance.
My approach to therapy is based in motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths-based therapy, and trauma-informed therapy which helps you understand how past traumas or events affect you in the present time while also acknowledging the expertise you bring to our working relationship. We will work on identifying emotional/thought patterns to grow your self awareness, and work on different activities that will help you change your environment, self-perception, and regain your locus of control.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I obtained my BSW from the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. and my MSW from the University of Maryland Baltimore in Baltimore, MD. I am passionate about nature, family, good food, animals, and fitness. Above all else I am innately curious about others, love to connect with others’ experiences and begin the partnership with them to help them feel like the best version of themselves. I am humbled to be trusted with starting our partnership and embarking on our journey of self-exploration.
AS A SUPERVISOR:
I hold a framework that encourages uniqueness and patience with each client, focusing on the therapeutic relationship. I take supervision with a similar approach to help my supervisees grow into the directions they want to pursue in their careers, and provide space to develop skills in the relational space.
My primary frameworks are around relational psychodynamic theory, CBT, motivational interviewing, and inner child work. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, multicultural trauma, transitions, and grief. I want to guide an understanding around the therapeutic relationship and how that can create a space of healing, growth, and boundary setting for new clinicians curious to develop their skill set. I focus on creating a supervisory relationship that is warm, connected, and honest, which helps in creating a space of honoring your style and growth as a clinician.
I am also a clinician of color who wants to help pursue conversations around bringing down barriers of access to clients of color, explorations around culture of origin, and issues around minority groups and mental health. I want to help guide other clinicians to a space of curiosity and appreciation in themselves while they are working with me in supervision.
