We are a result of every single experience in life, good or bad. Over the course of a lifetime, we developed habits and perspectives that helped us to cope with suffering. However, when those old methods no longer serve, it is time to let another person to walk alongside in order to examine and discover new ways for dealing with life's challenges. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental and empathetic environment that fosters self reflection in order to encourage personal transformation and learning what works for you. Taking the first step might be difficult, but you will be glad you did it. Hablo Espa˜ñol.
I work in collaboration with my clients to arrive at an approach that is best suited for their personal needs and challenges. Some people find more benefit from individual therapy, while others are more likely to benefit from a couple's or family therapy approach. Together we will decide what treatment approach is most beneficial for you.
I have worked in the mental health field for more than two decades. I have experience helping people with the challenges, adjustments, and losses one might feel as part of the acculturation process. I have extensive experience working with children, individual therapy with adults, couple’s therapy, and family therapy, in addition to treating seniors.
