COUNSELING vs THERAPY

Many people use the words counseling and therapy to mean the same thing, and both involve talking with a trained mental health professional. Much of it comes down to how a mental health professional was trained.

MY APPROACH TO THERAPY

My approach is collaborative and primarily rooted in Person-Centered and Psychodynamic approaches. I also pull from Exposure Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Relational Therapy, as well as other evidence-based methods, tailored to meet each person's unique needs.

I work with individuals ages 12 and up, specializing in supporting teens and young adults. Many clients appreciate my relatable and approachable style, which helps create a strong therapeutic connection and a space where they can feel comfortable being themselves. Services are offered in both English and Spanish.

VIRTUAL or IN-PERSON SESSIONS

I offer both virtual and in-person counseling sessions. If you’re new to therapy, I recommend in-person sessions for your first visits; it’s a great way to get a feel for the experience and connect face-to-face.
