Therapy Style
Life can get very complicated and challenging sometimes. My commitment to you is to provide a supportive place for us to collaboratively explore the challenges you are experiencing and the areas of your life you wish to change. If you are struggling to come to terms with your past, or feel as if something is preventing you from living the life you want, I invite you to explore this from a place of curiosity and without judgment. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I strive to support individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing difficult life events.
My areas of specialty include dealing with interpersonal conflict, loss, divorce, trust issues, chronic illness, depression, trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, and other life stressors that can be overwhelming. I am here to support you on your journey in reestablishing a connection with yourself.
