My name is Eva and I found my place in psychology and social work due to my desire to help my community and to help people feel better. I come from a Mexican immigrant household and my humble upbringing has showed me the importance of advocacy, perseverance, and wellness. I have done a lot of work in my community ranging from homeless prevention and clinical work to school social work. My love for mental health and movement has led me to obtain my certifications to teach mat pilates, reformer pilates, and yoga in my free time. I absolutely love nature, art(especially in sessions), play, and I have lots of fun watching movies and listening to music. Through all my work, I hope to instill and nurture others’ desire to reach their goals, feel better, and make their community a better place. My ideal client is anyone who wants to feel better about a difficult situation. Things can become very difficult to navigate, especially as a young person, and the want to feel better is all I need from my ideal client. If you are feeling sad most of the time, overly nervous about everyday situations, or out of tune with your emotions (example: really angry, highly stressed, have really big reactions, or just a mixture of emotions), I know that through your strengths and ongoing communication, we can find a way to navigate difficult situations together. I have worked with many clients who struggle with feelings of depression and anxiety, and although their situations are different, every time we have managed to work through hard things and they feel better. With every client I try to offer a place where they feel heard, understood, and supported. I encourage you to reach out if you identify with any of these feelings, even if you identify just a little.
