Hello! I am a bilingual therapist in the Upstate who is passionate about helping client's explore their values, identity, and needs (individual or within relationships) in order for them to build a life they are proud of and can thrive in. My approach with clients is to begin with exploring the foundations that make up a person's current life i.e. childhood, social support, jobs, habits, dreams, etc. to better understand where a client is at in the beginning of their therapy journey. Sometimes this also means processing trauma or stressors that have become barriers for a person's growth or for a relationship's success. Along the way, clients can expect to learn about effective communication skills that they can use with their loved ones, during conflicts, and ultimately with themselves as well.
I work to create a space in therapy where clients of all different cultures and backgrounds can feel safe and free to be and express themselves as their authentic self. My goal is always to validate clients, while gently challenging or pointing out patterns or habits that may not serve them moving forward. If my approach is something that aligns with what you're looking for, please feel free to reach out to me via e-mail or phone call.
¡Hola! Soy una terapeuta bilingüe en la región de Upstate, apasionada por ayudar a mis clientes explorar sus valores, identidad y necesidades (individuales o en sus relaciones) para que puedan construir una vida de la que se sientan orgullosos y en la que puedan prosperar. Mi enfoque con los clientes comienza explorando los cimientos que forman su vida actual, como su infancia, su apoyo social, su trabajo, sus hábitos, sus sueños, etc., para comprender mejor su situación al inicio del proceso terapéutico. A veces, esto implica procesar traumas o estresantes que se han convertido en obstáculos para el crecimiento personal o el éxito de su relaciones. Durante el proceso, clientes aprenderán comunicaciones efectivas que podrán utilizar con sus seres queridos, durante los conflictos y, en última instancia, con usted mismo/misma.
Me esfuerzo es crear un espacio terapéutico donde clientes de varios culturas y orígenes se sientan seguros y libres para ser y expresarse auténticamente sin pena. Mi objetivo es siempre validar a mis clientes y a la misma vez , con respecto, hacer nota de hábitos que quizás no les beneficien en el futuro. Si mi enfoque coincide con lo que busca usted, no dude en contactarme por correo electrónico o por teléfono.
