I see therapy as one of many supportive contexts that offer an opportunity to reflect on our lives. Within this context, we can bring clarity not only to the problems we face, but also to our search for solutions. I believe that we all have values, knowledge, and skills that are never too far from us even in the most challenging of circumstances. These can often be overlooked in the stories that we, or others, tell about our lives. I am interested in collaborating with you in a respectful way that privileges your voice and your preferences for life. I am also interested in understanding the unique ways in which you make meaning of your identity, your concerns, and the different aspects of your life. This feels important because I believe this has implications for our health and our relationships.
As a person who is bilingual (Spanish-English) and bicultural, I have an interest in working with diverse communities, bringing a cross-cultural and social justice lens to my work. I have had the privilege of previously working at a community-based clinic in City Heights. It was here that I had the opportunity to provide clinic-based and in-home services to clients from diverse backgrounds; as well as in collaboration with the local schools. I have also previously worked in a university medical research setting, where I provided support group services to couples experiencing Parkinson’s Disease. Currently I see individuals, couples, and families at the nonprofit clinic, Narrative Initiatives San Diego (NISD), located in Hillcrest. Additionally, I am also contracted with a local non-profit organization to support clients from many different countries that have experienced political torture.
I was born in Mexico, and moved with my family to the United States at a very young age. It is important to me that I continue to maintain ties to my native country. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, experiencing new foods, and checking out all the wonderful sights that San Diego has to offer. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, I also enjoy traveling to visit loved ones or exploring new parts of the world.
I look forward to a conversation with you if you think I may be of some help. I can also help to connect you with services that may be a better fit for your situation. I wish you all the best in every moment of your life’s journey.
