How do you work with clients with anxiety?

I am a Billingual, Salvadorian American. At the core of what I do, my passion is to see families and individuals set free from the shackles of trauma. Surviving complex trauma and now THRIVING, is the greatest gift of Hope, that I bring into my work. My recent experience in private practice ranges from supporting families to have courageous conversations with one another. Working with individual struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety & PTSD. Additionally, supporting couples who are looking for a new way to love one another. The invitation I give you is to bring awareness to the generational cycles that exist and to feel empowered to sever (put an end to, break off) generational cycles in your life. We constantly desire a better world for the future generation. Did you ever stop to think, that YOU are the start to a new legacy?

Being an avid advocate for behavioral health, I love teaming up with teens, adults, couples, parents and families to improve their overall mental wellness. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, addictions, depression, OCD, and trauma. I also help couples and families with communication issues and parenting. When you come to see me, we will work together to find a therapeutic approach that suits you and is tailored to your needs. Being client-centered and strengths-oriented, I use different treatment styles - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gottman and Emotionally Focused Couples - to help you meet your goals. Prior to counseling, I was in high tech marketing and worked for Fortune 100 companies as well as innovative start-ups in the Silicon Valley. This unique experience gives me insight into some of the issues that many of my clients have due to a high tech environment. As a firm believer in community support, I spoke at libraries and community events to raise awareness of the importance of behavioral health. To address more specific concerns, I volunteered as an editor for the Los Gatos Community Against Substance Abuse and a Meetup organizer to enhance couples' relationships. I also manage clinical consultations among fellow therapists to foster collegial development and growth. My credentials include:​ *Certification and training in ADHD, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Unipolar & Bipolar Depression & OCD using CBT, DBT, and ERP *Training in EMDR *Externship in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy *Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy *Internship in Internet & Sex Addictions

Working at Mt Auburn Hospital in Boston, MA and Dr. Daniel Brown and Associates, I have gained valuable experience and exposure in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. I have practiced attachment pathology which is my PHD research, and the influence of positive psychology in psychotherapy using fundamental clinical evaluations and assessment tools in understanding the dynamics of strengthening relationships. I have also mastered the art of using cognitive, behavioural, and hypnotherapeutic treatments towards anxiety disorders. Thus, my education allowed me to get a broad theoretical and practical foundation of knowledge to hone my analytical, problem solving, and decision-making skills to help patients of all social classes with complex social problems to enrich their personal growth. My practical training and experience have enabled me to develop astute listening skills while showing patience in empathizing with the diverse needs and challenges of my patients.
