English
| Español You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up in the morning and understand your own story. I believe you really can have a life of abundance, peace, life, and joy. Life is too short to surrender to sadness, hold grudges, be anxious, and/or be angry all the time. No matter where you are, my role is to listen, validate, and highlight your strengths to help increase self-efficacy. Let me help you want to be free of emotional pain and able to deal and find meaning and purpose to life.
My therapeutic demeanor is warm, empathic, and non-judgmental. I work from a person centered approach meaning you are in charge; and a humanistic approach to create a compassionate environment that is safe for you. My hope is to work together and increase resilience and courage and provide tools for daily accomplishments and a deeper sense of well-being.
Making a decision to begin therapy is a big step, let me help you understand the importance in starting your journey. I understand the anxiety it gives and courage it takes to ask for support. I value a therapeutic relationship and actively work to build genuine rapport at your pace. Call for a free phone consultation and decide if I am a good fit for you.
