Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
In my practice, by face to face sessions or by using online Telehealth confidential therapy, I work with clients to feel comfortable and to form a bond, based on trust, that will foster a relaxed positive therapeutic interaction. It is important to me that, from the very first session, the client can communicate his or her story and feels heard, so that I can understand the presenting issues, communicate hope, and formulate mutually agreeable goals to achieve in our work together. I have over 20 years of experience treating clients suffering from relationship or financial issues, depression, anxiety, addiction, life transitions such acculturation, job change, or retirement. I enjoy working with individual adults and couples, am fluent in Spanish, and have a good communication understanding of Portuguese. Depending on client's presenting issue, my treatment approach varies from concrete problem solving, using mindfulness, parts-Internal Family Systems model, Hypnosis, Holotropic Breathwork, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Psychodynamic Integration. I am sensitive to diversity, multicultural and adjustment issues as happening in multiple situations.
