Welcome
I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Austin, Texas.
My approach to therapy is rooted in my appreciation of the importance of relationships. The research about what makes therapy effective is clear: more than any specific modality, the way you feel with your therapist predicts the effectiveness of the work you do together. My hope is to be a resource for you and to explore different possibilities together.
I work primarily with adults and specialize in trauma and stressor-related disorders, developmental trauma, issues related to attachment, depression, anxiety and grief. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and I am passionate about working with people of color, immigrants, people who are part of the LGBTQIA community and people with disabilities.
My style is relational, warm and direct. I value humor and I am deeply interested in people and their experiences. I use mindfulness and somatic strategies in my work and I am trained in EMDR. I have additional EMDR training for the treatment of chronic pain. If you would like to learn more about EMDR, you can read about it here.
If you would like to talk to me about working together, please contact me for a free 30-minute phone consultation.
