I am a bi-lingual (English and Spanish) counselor. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents who are dealing with symptoms related to depression, anxiety, stress related to life changes, and symptoms related to child abuse or trauma. I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I work well with difficult to engage teens, adults looking to make life changes, adults with substance use issues, and people with issues related to trauma. My style is easy going and non-judgmental but I can also help you work on meeting your goals. I am doing EMDR (trauma treatment) sessions online and in person at this time. View 4 Photos I am a good listener and I help people find strategies to help people cope.I have received specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Trauma Focused Therapy for Adolescents. I offer daytime, evening, and weekend appointments to accommodate busy individuals. In addition to being a counselor, I am also a CADC (Certified alcohol and drug counselor). Many people have slipped into unhealthy habits with substance use during the stress of the pandemic. If you would like to explore your substance use behaviors in a non-judgmental environment and talk about making some changes, I would be happy to help.
