I work from a holistic and strength-based perspective in therapy. While therapy and traditional counseling tend to focus on pathology and deficits, I tend to focus on working with individual's already existing strengths to help them move beyond any concerns they may have. In addition, I conduct psychological, legal-medical, and forensic evaluations in my practice. I also contract with Workers Compensation to meet clients needs. I believe that people have all the resources they need to solve their own problems, but potentially lack the skills in accessing those resources. I assist people in learning to access their own internal resources to deal with life concerns and relationship challenges. Additionally, I have a special interest and expertise in working with culturally diverse individuals. I work with individuals from all racial/ethnic backgrounds, but have a particular expertise in working with Latina/os in therapy. I also work with trauma, including sexual abuse and intimate partner violence.
