Asking for help is not always easy. Looking and actually going to see a therapist is not any easier. Acknowledging that help is needed is a huge step in your recovery and seeing your therapist another. It takes a lot of bravery to do that and I applaud you for it. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with the safe space where you will feel understood and validated. You are the expert in your own life, but together we can walk the journey into bettering how you feel and work through what is holding you down.
I have experience working with children, teens, and adults. I have worked on issues with self-esteem, grief, anxiety, stress, along with other things. My treatment approaches have been Person-centered as well as Solution-Focused. I will adjust to give my clients the best treatment they can get.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. Hablo español.
