Hello, my name is Ana Paula, and I am a "Bilingual (English/Portuguese) Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Addiction Clinician (LAC) with a passion for helping individuals navigate their personal and relational challenges. My approach to therapy is rooted in understanding systemic relationships, which means I look at how dysfunctional behaviors develop within the context of family and relationships and work with you to replace these with healthier patterns.
I have a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Regis University, and I’m also an addiction clinician. I’m level 1 trained in Gottman Method, Emotional Focused Therapy, Multisystemic Family Therapy, Reunification Therapy, and Dialetical Behavior Therapy. My work also draws on various modalilites included: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
I can help you address and resolve past traumatic issues so that they stop interfering with your current relationships with your loved ones and family. It is all about having a compassionate companion who can help you address challenging issues in order to create the healthy relationships you desire.

I often use Emotional Focused Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and your goals. With EFT, we'll focus on increasing self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, and enhancing emotional resilience. For couples and families, EFT can strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication and empathy.
