Hi there! I’m Viv, a Latina Licensed Professional Counselor in CT and FL and board certified Art Therapist. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, kink-allied, and HAES oriented. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and holistic, and stems from the belief that empathy, safety, autonomy, and destigmatization are at the root of fostering a therapeutic experience that feels nurturing, validating, and empowering- and ultimately honors the strength and capability that already exists within you. I acknowledge the courage it takes to be in the therapeutic process; it is an act of self-love to show up for yourself in this way.
I am here to guide folks who are looking to slow down and tend to their nervous system, improve self-esteem and assertiveness, practice self-compassion, or work through grief and life transitions. I feel passionate about working with folks navigating trauma and individuals looking to explore personal identity or non-traditional relationship dynamics.
I enjoy moving beyond traditional talk therapy and will often integrate Art Therapy, somatic somatic interventions, music, play, movement, and nature into my work. And of course some yapping and laughing! As your therapist, I will sit with you through heaviness and grief, challenge you to grow in new ways, and hype you up through the ebbs and flows of life.
