Do you feel as if your life has a “before” and “after?” Do you feel stuck, like you can’t shake what happened to you or your relationships? I would love the opportunity to help you make sense of your story and build your path forward. - ¿Sientes como si tu vida tuviera un “antes” y un “después”? ¿Te sientes atascado, como si no pudieras deshacerte de lo que te ha pasado a ti o a tus relaciones? Me encantaría tener la oportunidad de ayudarte a dar sentido a tu historia y construir tu camino hacia adelante.
To help you walk through your journey I use CBT, person-centered therapy, EMDR, and Gottman method couples’ therapy. - Con el fin de ayudarle a caminar a través de su viaje uso CBT, la terapia centrada en la persona, EMDR, y la terapia de parejas método Gottman.
My goal is to provide a warm and affirming environment where you feel safe and supported. I look forward to the privilege of working with you. - Mi objetivo es darle un ambiente cálido y sin prejuicios donde se sienta seguro para comenzar a sanar. Espero tener el privilegio de trabajar con usted.
