My approach
As a licensed psychotherapist with over a decade of experience, I specialize in Dual Diagnosis, offering client-centered therapy particularly for those resistant to previous treatments. My approach is genuine, warm, direct, and empathetic, focusing on creating a compassionate, safe, and empathetic environment where clients can openly discuss their challenges. I believe in the importance of understanding each client’s unique experiences and tailoring my therapeutic methods to meet their individual needs. My goal is to facilitate emotional and physical breakthroughs by enhancing communication and mutual understanding.
My focus
I typically work with clients who have complex mental health challenges, particularly those with dual diagnoses, including co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. I am most comfortable treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and those struggling with intense emotions and self-destructive behaviors. Additionally, I support clients experiencing phase-of-life problems and career transitions, providing tailored guidance to help them navigate these significant changes. I also specialize in providing tailored support to the LGBTQ and Latinx communities, empowering them toward breakthroughs and better health.
My communication style
In my sessions, I strive to create a tone and environment that is compassionate, safe, and empathetic. Clients often describe working with me as feeling genuinely supported and understood. My approach is warm and direct, ensuring that clients feel heard and validated while also being guided towards meaningful change. The therapeutic space I cultivate encourages open communication, mutual understanding, and personal growth, making clients feel comfortable and empowered throughout their journey.
My journey to mental healthcare
During a first session with me, clients can expect a thorough and welcoming introduction to the therapeutic process. We will discuss at length the presenting problem, allowing the client to share their concerns and experiences in a safe and empathetic environment. I will explore their expectations for therapy and what they hope to achieve through our work together. We will also go over various treatment options, discussing how different approaches can be tailored to meet their specific needs. By the end of the session, clients will have a clear understanding of the therapeutic process, potential goals, and the next steps, ensuring they feel informed and empowered as we begin our journey together.
My goals for you
When it comes to goal setting with clients, I take a collaborative and personalized approach. During the initial sessions, we thoroughly discuss the presenting problems and explore the client's desires and aspirations. Together, we identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals that align with their values and needs. I ensure that goals are realistic and tailored to the client's unique circumstances. We regularly review and adjust these goals, celebrating progress and addressing any obstacles that arise. This dynamic process helps clients stay motivated and focused on their journey toward achieving their therapeutic objectives and overall well-being.
