There are always times when bad situations can overwhelm a person, but the person always has the option to push the struggle to get to a place where they can find happiness. Making an actual effort toward improving life is something that can create happiness in and of itself. And here you are… You did it! You made the first step to your healing journey by taking time out of your day to look for your own therapy. I admire you.
I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist who has had experience supporting children, teens, adults, and their families through their emotional experiences and their life challenges. My role as a therapist is to listen with both an open mind and open heart as well as validate and understand your own lived experiences.
My ultimate goal is to guide and support you through life's many obstacles; starting with self. I want to hear your story, understand your experience, and help you understand the patterns that have persisted in your life. I encourage you to reach out if you are ready to commit to yourself and no one else. You deserve a fresh start.
