Job Titles:
- Clinical Social Work Associate / Beaverton
As a therapist, I strive to walk with those I serve in recognizing their unique strengths and supporting them in navigating life's challenges. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is one in which trust is key to the success of treatment. I take a relational approach to each client I serve and believe all are deserving of a safe space to speak freely and without judgment. As experts in their own journey, I encourage clients to identify areas of their life where they would like to see positive change, work with them to set goals, and support them in their walk toward a deeper understanding of themselves. I use a strengths-based perspective when working with individuals, children, and families. I believe it is important to recognize the systems in place which influence the thoughts and behaviors of those experiencing challenges. In working with children and adults I like to incorporate elements of play therapy, attachment theory, and narrative therapy. I recognize the dignity and worth of those I serve and seek to provide a welcoming therapeutic environment for clients from all backgrounds.

I have been practicing as a psychologist for more than 20 years in both Chile and Oregon. I am a bicultural therapist, fluent in Spanish and English, and I have provided counseling services to adolescents and adults from different countries and cultural backgrounds. My approach is based on a contextual perspective, trauma, resilience, and culturally responsive care. Services are tailored according to your unique background including gender and sexual identity. My desire is to collaborate with you to cultivate balance and healing in a safe environment through the use of evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and psychoeducation.

I am a bilingual (Spanish, English), bicultural, Latina therapist. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to support my clients including Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy (ESFT), among others. I work with children and youth from two years old through adulthood.
I believe that all individuals have innate abilities and strengths to live an authentic life; some need support to remove obstacles to achieve that life. My goal would be to help you visualize that success, help you create attainable goals, build your capacity with skills, and offer guidance and inspiration.
As a social worker I have a passion for my profession. I strongly hold the belief that people have the capacity to change if they have the right environment. By environment I mean a strong healing process, strong social networks and support, socio-economic wellbeing, and the ability to be able to have access to resources that will enhance the change process that they seek. I also believe that healing is relational, and that people are and should be the authors of their lives. I am strongly attuned to culture, gender, sexual orientation, and identity. I pay keen attention to these issues because I know that every human being is unique in their own ways. I acknowledge that people's life are shaped by many forces around them. My approach to therapy is one that is eclectic, and trauma informed. I know that every individual has unique challenges that they bring into therapy. Throughout my professional journey I have learned that using multiple approaches to fully understand the challenges I encounter can be helpful in the healing process.
I love working with children and supporting them in discovering who they are, finding their voice and expressing themselves. I use a variety of interventions when working with children and families. I primarily engage children in play therapy as play is the primary language of children and an essential part of development. Additionally, I use a variety of techniques and interventions to help children share experiences such as art, books, strength based interventions, motivational interviewing, and collaborative problem solving. It is my desire and goal to create a space in which the youth feels safe, seen and heard to share their thoughts, feelings and concerns.
Counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental space to speak openly about issues that are affecting your life. I see every client as an individual and also try to understand the context in which the individual lives. I encourage exploration of relevant previous experiences that shed light onto patterns, ability to change, and/or issues that are current in a client's daily life. Processing issues from the past will allow a person to move forward with more confidence, self-worth, and a stronger desire to make positive changes in life. Therapy can be an intimidating process and I will provide safety, guidance, and reassurance that you need to live a happier, healthier life.
I believe that everyone is unique and requires a unique focus and style of therapy. While working with you I am always listening for and expecting to hear strengths that you may not see or realize. I want to provide and share hope, courage, and energy to move forward on the therapeutic journey. In my work I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), systemic/narrative therapy, and humanistic approaches. I work with children, adolescents, and their families.
In my work with individuals and families, I use an eclectic approach to address a variety of needs. I utilize a variety of methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, expressive arts therapy, play therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) according to the needs of each individual. Central to my approach is a holistic therapy experience-focusing not only on the mind and brain but also the body. Every circumstance is unique, and I will meet you where you are to help you navigate life's challenges. I seek to establish a safe space for growth, recovery, and healing.
