I am a dedicated psychotherapist with a profound commitment to supporting individuals on their journey to mental well-being. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Georgia Southern University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from LaGrange College. Currently, I am in the process of obtaining my Associate Professional Counselor License.
As a Hispanic Latino therapist, I bring a strong understanding of diverse cultural backgrounds, particularly the Hispanic and Latino communities. I am fully bi-lingual in Spanish and English. I believe that self-awareness is crucial to healing, and while our past plays a significant role in understanding who we are, true healing is achieved in the present.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and empathetic, guiding clients to realize that they possess all the necessary abilities to heal. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Person-Centered Approach, tailoring my methods to meet the specific needs and potential benefits for each client.
I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a highly effective approach for alleviating the distress associated with traumatic memories. EMDR therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but it is also effective for treating anxiety, depression, phobias, and more. This approach aims to reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact and allowing individuals to integrate these memories into their overall life experience without distress.
I find it particularly rewarding to work with young adults who suffer from depression and possess a history of trauma. My personal experience with mental health concerns allows me to empathize deeply with my clients, providing a safe and understanding environment for their healing journey.
