Meet Anahis

I am well versed in co-occurring disorders and realize that there is usually more than one issue present in a person's life causing them to experience stressors. I understand that therapy can be a new experience for some people, and would love to help to find ease in your everyday stressors with the use of my knowledge, care, and passion for this work. I have worked with adolescents and adults in hospital settings, rehabilitation centers, and private practice to gain positive tools to help relieve their everyday difficulties. I am comfortable working with all types of clients who are reaching out for help. I believe in evidence-based therapies and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I strive to help my clients process their emotions and feelings to reach a place where they can work through their struggles in a healthy, productive way.
