My Approach to Helping
(Al final del narrativo en ingles, se repite en espanol. )


Are you facing challenges in your life? We all have the tools that we need in order to succeed in face of life's challenges, however, sometimes we need some help finding access to these tools. My focus in therapy is on what is POSSIBLE in life and in our relationships with others and on working to eliminate the barriers that stand between us and what we want to achieve in life. I love working with children, families, and with relationship issues and use a variety of techniques including expressive arts therapies and play therapies. Issues caused by our life transitions do not exist in a vacuum and as such, a big part of my approach to helping people is to help them reconnect in the relationships they have and to establish a new sense of community and family.

Esta enfrentando retos en su vida? Todos tenemos las herramientas que necesitamos para poder tener xito en frente de los retos de la vida- sin embargo, a veces necesitamos ayuda para encontrar el acceso a tales herramientas. Mi enfoque en la terapia es concentrar en que es POSIBLE en la vida y en nuestras relaciones con los dem's, trabajando en eliminar las barreras que existen entre nosotros y lo que queremos lograr en la vida. A mi me encanta trabajar con los nios, las familias, y con individuos y parejas, y uso una variedad de tecnicas incluyendo el uso de terapias de las artes expresivas y terapia de juego. Los problemas causados por nuestras transiciones en la vida no existen solos y debido a eso, una gran parte de mi enfoque en ayudar a los deme's es ayudindoles formar conexiones en las relaciones que tienen y establecer un nuevo sentimiento de pertinencia a sus comunidades y familias.
