Biography
I am a doctoral student working towards my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Denver. My interests include anxiety and relationships. In therapy, the relationship I have with my clients is the most important thing. I am challenging, but warm. I am direct with my clients and aim to remind them of the agency and power they have over their lives.
I am currently at the University of Denver where I have earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology and am completing my Doctorate. I have clinical experience working at private practice with individuals and couples, as well as experience working in medical settings and with high acute populations.
I am from Puerto Rico! I grew up going to the beach every weekend, so my favorite thing to do is be outside and breathe in the fresh air. I moved to Denver over three years ago and I love it (except the traffic!). I love snowboarding, camping, and laying at a park when the weather is nice.
What would your clients say about you as a therapist?
My clients say I’m warm and direct. Often, clients will comment on the growth they’ve made in therapy thanks to the curiousity that is formed in the room. I believe therapy is successful when the client feels moved to be curious about themselves while also maintaining themselves to be noncritical.
Do you have any pets?
I have a cat, Benny. One of my friends rescued his mom when she was giving birth, and the rest is history! He has been with me since September of 2023. Fun fact: when he was a kitten I took him camping because I didn’t want to leave him with a sitter.
What are your favorite hobbies?
I love to journal, read, and go to the park. During the winter, I love going to mountains to snowboard and I love going camping during the summer. I prefer the summer over the winter in Denver, as there is no better activity to de-stress than going camping.
