Si Ud. esta buscando un consejero profesional que habla espanol, puede hacer una cita conmigo. Aunque estoy practicando mi espanol todavia, tengo mucho experiencia trabajando con personas que prefieren hablar en espanol. Por casi quince anos, yo he trabajado con estudiantes en todas las niveles de escuela (incluyendo a la universidad) y sus familias.

I am not an expert on your life. You are. I am an expert at the process of helping you assess and clarify your values, define your purpose, build on your strengths, and develop your areas of potential growth. For nearly twenty years, I have worked with individuals, families and couples to successfully navigate life transitions, overcome challenges, and create meaningful and healthy relationships.
I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions such as career changes, education level changes, relationship transitions, etc. My ten years of counseling experience in K-12 schools and six years as a college counselor have especially prepared me to work with adolescents who struggle with social, personal and school challenges. I am also uniquely qualified to work with the parents/guardians and families of adolescents and young adults.
Therapists typically adhere to one or more theories that provides them with a framework of how to understand and improve people's lives. Thus, the therapeutic experience will be different from one therapist to another depending on their theoretical orientation. It can be important to know a therapist's theoretical approach so that you can make informed choices about choosing the best therapist for you.
As a solution-focused and cognitive emotional behavioral therapist (CEBT), I provide a safe and healthy space to better understand your life circumstances. My role is to help you identify and clarify the changes you would like to see. Together we will assess your strengths and assets to create pathways of growth. These pathways are specific, measurable, achievable and timely (SMART). While the past can be important in creating positive change, as a solution-focused therapist, I believe that real and long-term positive changes can come from examining and understanding your present circumstances. As a CEBT therapist, we will identify systems of dysfunctional thoughts, emotions and behaviors that sustain your unhappiness and may keep you "stuck". Then, we work together to replace these systems with healthy, positive and functional systems of living. While therapy is often serious and requires work, my clients would tell you that it can also be fun.
Finally, when searching for the right therapist, it is important to know their education and training. Specifically, my training includes a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Spanish, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Counseling and Educational Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional School Counselor in Oregon. Additionally, I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and Nationally Certified School Counselor (NCSC). Those are a lot of acronyms and what matters most is that I am skilled counselor who cares about people living happy and healthy lives. If you've read this far and feel like me and my approach might be a good "fit", please feel free to reach out and set up a time for us to meet.
