Hi, you! Congrats on taking steps to make changes in your life- it takes a lot of vulnerability to do so. Every one experiences their own unique journeys throughout their life, which may come with various challenges and growth. Some of these challenges may look like feeling stuck, being bought back to previous life experiences, or finding yourself returning to similar destructive patterns. At some point we have to stop and ask ourselves- do I want to continue feeling this way, or is it time to change something?
I am Latina & part of the LGBT+ community. I feel passionate about working with people who are navigating substance use, sexual or relational trauma, eating disorders, and depression. I bring my previous work and lived experience into our sessions, which includes a diverse background from working in IOP, PHP, and residential programs.
Therapy can be hard, which is why I value the time we spend together and take the time to understand you as best as I can. Therapy sessions are your space and your time, and we will work together to establish individual goals that best support your needs and work towards them together.
