I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate committed to providing compassionate and effective mental health. Being Latina and Spanish-speaking allows me to understand and empathize with different cultural factors and issues that come with leaving our home country. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents experiencing trauma, anxiety, grief, adjustment disorders, and depression. I specialize in working with children through a child-centered play approach. This method allows children to express themselves and explore their feelings in a safe and supportive environment.
Children typically take more time to open up and feel secure in the therapeutic relationship. To facilitate this process, I schedule regular meetings with parents every five sessions to discuss progress and any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. This collaborative approach ensures we are all working together to support the child's growth.
