If you you feeling overwhelmed, depressed or stressed out and are having difficulty mananging your everyday life there are positive solutions to move forward. My approach is Solution Focused and Positive Psychology. What that means is: We focus on the present, collaborate to develop a plan of how to address the issues, then work towards resolving the difficulties you are experiencing in your life. Verbalization precedes resolution.
I have been treating individuals with depression, anxiety, Bi Polar disorder and substance abuse for well over a decade. I enjoy working with all types of individuals and their unique challanges.

We are not so much defined by what happens to us in life, but rather by how we respond to what happens. Intuitively we may know problems are opportunities to change and to grow, but sometimes we feel stuck, anxious and disempowered. Please know emotional pain is the only thing in life likely to jump-start a process of personal transformation. You are likely on the threshold of making that inward turn--taking yourself more seriously by addressing the pain of the past, accepting responsibility for prior choices and formulating commitments to do some things differently from here forward.

Living with anxiety, fear, worry, and depression can feel very discouraging, sometimes hopeless, and these feelings can grow to be so BIG that they inevitably impact our relationships, work, dreams and goals.

I am a bilingual (Spanish) licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a focus on solutions and short-term-outcomes, rather than spending years analyzing the problem. While traditional long-term therapy and in-depth exploration of the past may be appropriate in some situations, it's generally not necessary. Whether it's court-ordered classes, separation, divorce, domestic violence, parenting or co-parenting, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, I'll personalize a plan that guides you to the desired outcome.

Basically, my approach is to get to the issue and prescribe a solution. I don't want to go to my car mechanic and have him ask me, "What do you think is wrong with your car...how would you fix it." If I knew what was wrong and how to fix it, I wouldn't have to pay a mechanic, I'd be fixing it my self. When I go therapy I ask my therapist to tell me what they see and give me some tools. After all, the goal is to get you through and out of therapy. ASSESSMENTS AND EVALUATIONS

Wolkig with all age groups, I offer my years of experience in helping clients achieve life enhancing changes. The hypnotic state allows a person to be more open to suggestion. So-called "POSTHYPNOTIC SUGGESTIONS" may improve treatments for many conditions, including: phobias, fears, anxiety, sleep disorder, PTSD, grief and loss. Hypnotherapy can help changing a person's behavior, such as smoking, biting nails, alcohol & drug addiction, obesity, low self esteem and relationship problems. Furthermore, hypnotherapy is particularly useful in treating pain and preparing for surgery. Hypnotherapy proves to be an excellent tool to enhance sport specific skills in golf, tennis, football, baseball and others.
