Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I loved helping people since I was a teenager, tutoring younger children, working afterschool program/summer camp, assisting adults who just came to the USA and needed direction/language translation with social services in the Hispanic community. I always stood by those who were different/disadvantaged/had a disability/had no friends/who were made fun of in school since elementary school age.
What excites you most about the evolving mental health landscape?
I am very excited about telehealth mental health therapy which I believe will provide more mental health assistance to individuals and will be more convenient for those who want it.
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
Success in therapy is when the individual can cope/come up with solutions to their issues in a healthy manner/can take care of themselves/develop a better happier life.
