“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty”.
-Maya Angelou
There is beauty in the changes that come with growing into a better and healthier version of yourself. During your phases of growth, allow me to be by your side and help you understand these changes. Time is of the essence, so let’s explore the beauty and healthy alternatives to living the life you want.
My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, school-related issues, work-related issues, social identity, self-esteem, and OCD. I draw from various therapeutic approaches, such as Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Strength-Based Therapy. I also incorporate Play-Therapy Techniques to create a comfortable and engaging environment for my clients.
Additionally, I specialize in working with clients who struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Collaborating closely with Andrea Alvarez, M.Ed., LPC-S, NCC, a seasoned expert in OCD treatment and the Executive Director and Owner of AMA, I provide evidence-based interventions tailored to the unique needs of individuals with OCD. To further enhance my expertise in OCD treatment, I completed the Pediatric Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI), an intensive training that focused on cognitive behavioral therapy for youth with OCD and related disorders. This training equipped me with the latest tools in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and other essential techniques, allowing me to implement personalized, effective treatment plans. Through BTTI, I also developed skills in integrating family involvement and motivational strategies to foster engagement in treatment.
By integrating my expertise in various therapeutic modalities with specialized training in OCD treatment, I am equipped to provide comprehensive and compassionate care to individuals seeking relief from OCD symptoms. My collaboration with Andrea Alvarez and ongoing professional development reflect my commitment to delivering high-quality therapy and fostering positive outcomes for my clients.
I am passionate about working with client who are pre-teens through adulthood. During these special years of life, you may be flooded with ideas, feelings, and behaviors that are not easy to navigate alone. My personal philosophy is that therapy is your car embarking on a journey of self-growth. You are the driver, and I am the passenger, helping to navigate through difficult times—but don’t worry, I won’t use the emergency brake unless you ask.
