My Approach to Therapy

Many adults feel anxious and stressed when trying to reach their personal and career goals, all while trying to balance the daily demands. Ignoring these feelings can take a toll on your mind and body. I take a mindful approach to help clients develop a sense of joy and peace. Clients describe me as a calming presence that helps them feel grounded. I have even been known to teach mindfulness strategies during our session. It can be scary to be present in dark moments, but I support and guide you to shift negative thinking and learned patterns into healthy ones. As a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), I am confident in my ability to support those struggling with alcoholsubstance abuse, anger management, traumaPTSD, and grief.

My Practice & Services

Mi enfoque terapéutico se basa en ayudar a las personas a mantenerse presentes y conectadas con sus experiencias actuales. A través de técnicas de consciencia y atención plena, trabajamos juntos para alcanzar los objetivos que cada cliente desea lograr. La seguridad emocional de mis clientes es mi prioridad. Mantengo límites terapéuticos claros y respeto el ritmo de cada persona, permitiendo explorar y sanar heridas del pasado sin necesidad de revivir experiencias traumáticas. El proceso se enfoca en identificar y dejar atrás mecanismos de defensa que alguna vez fueron necesarios, pero que hoy pueden estar limitando su bienestar y crecimiento personal. Ofrezco una consulta inicial gratuita para que podamos conocernos y evaluar si mi estilo de terapia es el adecuado para ayudarle a alcanzar sus metas de salud mental.
