My Approach to Helping
I understand what a bold step you are taking in seeking counseling. You know you want a change but you also know that you want someone to walk beside you during this time. Thats where I come in. My style is relaxed and warm providing a safe and non-judgmental place where you are free to explore who you are, what changes you want to make and discover a deeper understanding of yourself. I offer a direct and solution-oriented approach as we work through this together. Ultimately, the goal is to see you acquire new skills and ways of thinking that will create a positive and healthy change for you. I am passionate about helping families understand each other and helping individuals understand events that have happened within their own family. I also feel strongly about helping women with low self-esteem who are struggling with daily life, self-perception or having a difficult time finding their purpose or meaning in life. Helping women find their voice and their own sense of pride makes my heart swell with joy. Being Spanish-American I have a heart for the hispanic culture and the obstacles that come with acculturalizing into American society. Leaving family behind in another country, trying to find respectable work, raising your children to have pride in their heritage while they try to fit into American ways are all very personal and frustrating. I can help you navigate through these issues.
