I am a licensed clinical social worker and like to use creativity in my practice, including art, creative writing, and music. I am a bilingual social worker who has worked with the Latinx community for over eight years, providing Spanish-speaking services. I have more of a direct, to-the-point approach in therapy. I value honesty, taking accountability, skill-building, and most importantly, humor! I like to make jokes but also want to ensure that clients leave sessions with skills that can be applied outside of therapy too.I specialize in anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, addiction, anger management, grief and loss, self-esteem/confidence building, identity, sexuality, and helping people adapt through difficult life transitions. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly and use an antiracist approach, focusing not only on symptoms but also discriminatory systems that impact my clients.Primary clinical approaches include DBT, CBT, exposure therapy, internal family systems, and narrative therapy. To start the process, we can schedule a 15 minute phone call so I can get to know you better and see what goals you want to work on in therapy.
