“I was born in Managua, Nicaragua but moved to the United States at a young age. I view therapy as a safe place to explore relationships, whether those relationships are with people (family, co-workers, partner) or things (food, money, alcohol). I also feel an important part of therapy is addressing the social, economic, and cultural influences on a person and that the process of therapy should be a collaborative one, with the client seen as the “expert” on their life. My career as a therapist has included working in diverse range of settings: elementary, middle and high schools, community mental health centers, sexual assault agency and private practice as well. I believe that a combination of a committed, cooperative, non-judgmental and compassionate approach alongside the use of psychotherapeutic methods that can be individualized to fit the client’s specific goals, feelings, behavior and experiences, can be very successful during the healing process. It’s such a great honor to be part of your healing journey. You deserve a chance to make your future better. It’s never too late to start.”
