Clinician

I have been an Associate Marriage, Child and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor since 2020 after I obtained my Masters degree from University of Phoenix and subsequently registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences. I have experience working with families, teens, young adults, adults and couples. I also have experience working with individuals experiencing symptoms of psychosis, individuals who have experienced extreme traumatic events in childhood be adulthood, individuals dealing with substance use and couples dealing with martial problems such as infidelity in the marriage. I am committed to offering quality, professional, culturally competent, evidence-based clinical services to clients with a wide range of needs, under the supervision of MFT, Anna Alvarez. I have a passion for understanding and supporting individuals through symptoms of early psychosis, issues of anxiety, depression, domestic violence, domestic violence victims, family conflicts parenting, childhood/adulthood trauma, addiction and relationship stress.

My counseling approach is primarily Cognitive -Behavioral, identifying disrupting illogical beliefs and thought patterns, replacing them with healthy productive thought patterns. I also practice psychotherapy. When working with children I like to utilize art and play therapy, while involving the parents and caregivers as much as possible. I incorporate Christian principles and provide comprehensive and extensive services integrated with Christian beliefs and values.
