If you’re feeling alone, misunderstood, or like a burden to those around you I am here to hold space for you. Sometimes life can feel dark, stagnant or not what we expected it to be and a simple, "it gets better, hang in there" isn't helpful. I can help you process any emotions, gain a different perspective and develop tools in order to help life feel meaningful again. Healing takes time, space and help from those around us. Anyone looking for help with attachment issues, life transitions, trauma, racial stress, addiction, anxiety and depression. I am here to help. (Spanish speaking as well)
I have worked in the mental health field for a decade now and a therapist for almost 5 years. I have experience in trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, life transitions using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), I adapt my methods to support you in your journey towards healing.
I pride myself in fostering a therapeutic nurturing environment where all my clients regardless of their background or story can feel respected, understood and valued. I understand the importance of providing individualized care and tailor my services to the needs of each of my clients. My overall goal is to promote healing and empower my clients.
