What I love about counseling is it's ability to lead to epiphanies that then change the way we live our lives. It replaces muddled confusion and a foggy mind with clarity; a sense of which direction to take things. I enjoy working with clients who have a deep curiosity about themselves and the world around them. I see my role as both guiding clients towards the lives they envision for themselves, as well as collaborating with them on how to achieve their goals.

The client will determine the outcomes, and I guide the client to solutions through the discovery of the client's own resources. Therapy will allow the client to overcome painful experiences; therapy will empower the client to achieve his/her own healing. Life events shape us into who we are, but when it hurts, we know something must be changed. Then, it becomes very important not to be alone in our perspectives or pain.Therapy is an ongoing process of change. Senderos (or pathways), means the exploration of new ways to have a happier life. I have been practicing as therapist for more than ten years.

Posiblemente te encuentres con un sentido de confusion, baja de animo, problemas para dormir, momentos en donde el temperamento sube de tono, si tus conductas pasadas o presentes te preocupan, o el estress te detiene a dar pasos importantes o tal vez la ansiedad por lo que sera el futuro te interrumpe a vivir plenamente el momento presente. recuerda que " Tu eres aquello que haces, no aquello que dices que haras" -(C.G.Joung)

Many of the challenges we face come from traumatic events and other stressors. The environment where we live plays a significant role on many of the current problems we are encountering today. People raised in unsupportive environments face numerous difficulties because of not learning the necessary coping skills to manage different life stressors. Other challenges linked to living in an unhealth environment include attachment, trust, self-love, confidence, and safety issues. Living in an unsafe environment impact the way our brain manages daily stressors at school, work, and home.

Do you have something on your mind and seeking someone to listen and understand you in times of stress, experiencing an anxiety episode and other mental health related complications?

The Lending Ear Counseling Center is here to offer counseling services to guide you to improve personal strength and answer all the questions you have in mind.

I am here to challenge, guide, and support you through Life’s demands, helping you to feel more empowered, become more accepting of who you are as a Whole person, and gain skills to feel more confident in yourself and your abilities. I am ideal for those looking for personal growth, going through difficult adjustments, holding negative beliefs of the Self or World, and/or struggling with coping with emotions. I am also ideal for the autism spectrum community, as I have a decade of evidence-based experience. Additionally, I'm ideal for those transitioning from PHP/IOP, as well as those looking for an Enneagram-informed clinician.

My natural focus is on individuals experiencing symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I believe that making a strong connection right from the start is important and when an individual feels like he or she is understood, he or she is more willing to give the process of change a try. It also helps when those who experience ADHD or ASD are able to accept that what they are living with is not a disability but rather a strength and that it is okay to feel and be different. I say this from experience because I am childhood diagnosed.
