About My Clients
Through my work as a medical social worker at a pediatric hospital, I have gained valuable insights into a diverse range of medical conditions, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes. My focus extends beyond the individuals diagnosed to include the impact on their families. Additionally, I specialize in providing support to new and expectant parents, those facing fertility challenges, and parents whose children are dealing with health issues.
My Background and Approach
I provide a client-centered and collaborative therapeutic approach, tailoring sessions to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. My style is empathetic, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive, fostering a safe space for open exploration and self-discovery. Recognizing that seeking counseling services can be intimidating, my goal is to make this process as straightforward and approachable as possible. As a therapist, I aim to create a secure and welcoming environment for anyone seeking therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am deeply committed to supporting Spanish speakers and the Latinx community due to my Mexican background. Relocating from Mexico to a predominantly white community at the age of 9 was a significant cultural shock. Faced with the challenge of learning a new language and assimilating into this unfamiliar culture, I stood out as the sole brown girl in my elementary school, leading to struggles with identity issues. My own upbringing has highlighted the importance of providing assistance in one’s native language and fostering cultural understanding. Many individuals in our community encounter difficulties accessing therapy due to lingering stigma, hindering our ability to collectively overcome shared traumas. As a therapist, I aim to create a secure and welcoming environment for anyone seeking therapy but specifically to the Latinx and other marginalized communities of color.
