Curious about what to expect working with me?
First and foremost, I revere the therapeutic alliance as a sacred space, but don't expect stuffy office vibes—it's boricua and bougie all the way. My personality shines through my role as a clinician, so you can anticipate that I keep it real with my clients, coupled with compassion and humor. I'm casual but clinical. I go at your pace, but I also encourage my clients not to swim just in the shallow end but to challenge themselves to go deeper.
As far as the "therapy" portion goes, I respect your commitment to doing this work, and you deserve to experience tangible results. I utilize evidence-based treatment models (backed by research) to ensure that you receive the most ethical and best practice techniques to work through your symptoms and address your therapy goals.
MY APPROACH TO THERAPY
I’m a low-key nerd who loves understanding how the brain works, and I believe clients deserve EFFECTIVE therapy. My favorite way to help clients heal from past experiences is by using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing—say that three times fast). If you aren't familiar, click the EMDR tab to get oriented, and I will be happy to explain further. I also incorporate the following models into the work we do together:
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
Attachment-Based Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Mindfulness
Somatic Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
