Approach to Therapy

My approach to therapy is rooted in meeting clients exactly where they are and tailoring treatment to their unique needs, strengths, and lived experiences. As a bilingual therapist with experience supporting teens, adults, college students, undocumented students, individuals from mixed-status families, and clients with disabilities, I adapt my style to honor each person’s cultural background, identity, and unique context.

 

I utilize a blend of therapeutic interventions—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based practices, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, Motivational Interviewing, psychoeducation, cultural humility, and validation-based approaches—to guide clients through the various stages of life.

 

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and safe space where clients can process their thoughts, feelings, and emotions freely. While I honor each client’s pace and comfort level, I also gently challenge them as they move toward healing, growth, and deeper self-understanding.
