in-person Therapist in Modesto for Children and Adolescents
Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#164364) based in Modesto, CA. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. As a first-generation Hispanic, I have pursued my educational journey with dedication and purpose. I began my studies at Modesto Junior College, continued at Stanislaus State, and ultimately earned my Master’s degree from Christian Baptist University. My deep passion for psychology and lifelong learning has inspired me to support others on their journey of personal growth. I focus on helping individuals navigate relationships, heal from trauma, and develop greater self-awareness, empowering them to achieve the transformations they desire.
In the past, I was a caregiver for older adults and an ABA Therapist for kids on the spectrum. While working towards my Masters and Licensure hours, I provided therapy to children and teenagers in a school setting for 4 years. I also worked for a private practice, where I provided therapy to mostly adults but also adolescents and children.
THERAPY FOR ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN
My approach to therapy with children is based on the child’s sensitivities and culture. I work best with children and adolescents who are suffering from depression, anxiety, family conflict, and situational issues. My goal as a therapist is to establish a safe, fun, and secure place for clients. I utilize many forms of therapy with children such as Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy techniques.
Therapy for Adults
As a therapist, I help individuals develop a flexible, adaptable, and resilient approach to life and challenges. I believe good therapy helps create emotional endurance. I help clients clarify their values, beliefs, and worldview. From our therapy sessions you can expect empathy, authenticity, and an environment where you will be challenged. As your therapist, you can expect unfiltered talk, empathetic understanding, quiet moments, and a place to learn about what you truly value.
