Work HistoryWith 15+ years of experience, I've had the privilege of assisting a diverse range of folks – from kids to adults, veterans, and couples – as they navigate through some really tough times. Everything from abuse to mental health crises, relationship challenges, and struggles with substance use. I use proven methods like CBT, EMDR, EFT, Sex Therapy, and mindfulness. These are the tools that I've seen make a real difference in people's lives, making meaningful changes that lead to healing and growth. Beyond understanding emotions, it's about building on strengths, challenging negative thoughts, and aligning behavior with values. Together we can tackle whatever life throws your way, all while nurturing healthy relationships. As a licensed clinical social worker and chemical dependence counselor, with additional education in business, I blend my skills to foster real change. I'm passionate about my work and committed to making a positive impact. On a personal level, I identify as a Latina, first-generation, heterosexual, cisgender female, dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all. So, if you're ready to take that first step, know that I'm here to support you every step of the way.
