I am passionate to help adults resolve issues that bring them to therapy. As an EMDR certified clinician, I offer in-person & weekend appointments. I specialize in assisting clients to resolve traumas. Big or small, the impact is unique to you. Mood dysregulation and relationship challenges are common and reaching for resolution is your strength. We will explore your experience, challenge, desired change and define your treatment objective to reach your defined goal.

Have you ever felt isolated or like nobody really understands you? Maybe your problems seem too large or too complex, and you feel lost and frustrated. I enjoy helping my clients see their world in a new light and get “unstuck”. I primarily work with individuals and couples on a variety of issues from addiction to maintaining stable mental health. I will listen to your story, help you identify your strengths, and collaborate with you to create a pathway to healing.

“What is wrong with me?” you think to yourself. You feel disconnected from others. You don’t feel as though anyone truly understands you or gets you. You keep talking to your family, friends, or partner about the same issue but there is no resolution. They keep asking, “What do you actually want?” but your mind goes blank. Or you know what you want, but you vocalizing your wants would hurt important people in your life. Or you don’t think what you want is important as you’ve navigated your entire life with putting your wants and needs last.

Are you struggling to find balance in life? Do you feel overwhelmed even by minor everyday problems in your life? Do you desire a change but unsure how to get there? Are you needing a relief from emotional distress whether due to your own struggles or someone in your family? If you are ready to make the first step toward finding solutions to your struggles, I can be there to help you through this process. I believe that each individual is an expert in their own self. By creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment and guiding you through the process of resolving challenging thoughts and emotions, you can reach your own potential.

Life is filled with a multitude of experiences in which one is unfortunate to fall backwards than to fall forwards. From that point one determines how their next steps in life will be. Whether struggling with parenting strategies, understanding what it means to manage a current/past traumatic experience, or contemplate the question "Why me?" Using a holistic approach supports a person both internally and externally. Mind, body, and soul. Health of the whole-being is wealth, I encourage anyone who seeks therapy to be motivated and ready to work. "Healing is dependent upon the person who seeks it."-Kellie Vazquez
