Therapist Overview
Healing, growing, and challenging self, I believe are the core concepts to the practice of psychotherapy. As a clinician I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma work, CBT, play therapy, and other psycho-dynamic models. I am bilingual in Spanish as well. I have experience working with all genders and ages, however a majority of my experience has been with women and trauma work. I encompass a mindfulness perspective into my practice and believe healing happens when we learn to pay attention to our bodies and emotions. The practice of being introspective is essential to our existence and relationships. As a Couples Therapist I focus on the individual and assist them to observing self in order to better communicate and relate with their partner. Relationships are a give and take but most importantly the experience can help to grow, change, and heal. When working with children and adolescents, building a relationship and sharing a sense of myself is vital. T
