Solution-focused therapist living in london and working online with clients to improve coping skills while focusing on their strengths.
I am a BACP registered integrative psychotherapist in the UK with over 20 years of experience in the US and international communities. I have worked across East Asia and Europe in US military communities providing wellbeing support through psychotherapy and counselling. Spanish was my first language since my parents were immigrants who moved from Mexico to the United States. I have lived and worked in Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Belgium which has given me experience with multicultural communities and the privilege to work with diverse populations.
I have a Master’s degree in Community Counselling and was previously licensed in Texas before moving to London. I am passionate about helping people understand and overcome their mental health challenges, whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, work stress, or life transitions. I usually work with individuals, couples, and families in both English and Spanish.
I am an integrative therapist meaning I blend several therapy styles to meet each client’s unique needs. Specifically, my foundation is in person-centred therapy developing a trusting and nurturing relationship. I integrate a solution-focused approach to help clients reach their goals and create change that supports their mental health. When I use a solution-focused approach, I collaborate with my clients in order to find strategies and tools that work best for them. I have helped many people by strengthening their resilience, social skills, and self-expression. My clients often feel overwhelmed adjusting to life events such as loss, trauma, and stressful situations. I challenge my clients during sessions and provide additional activities in order to further individual growth.
