Introduction

I am passionate about helping people to experience greater joy, relaxation, confidence and connection. I have expertise in management of stress and anxiety, enhancement of self-confidence and self-esteem, adapting to changes in your life and identity, and recovery from trauma. In addition to listening to you and helping you to better understand yourself and your challenges, I can teach you techniques to more effectively manage your difficulties and increase your ability to fully experience the joys of life. Mental health problems often start out as ways of coping. When something bad happens, you might worry about what else could go wrong. This could lead you to over-prepare, try to control outcomes, and avoid certain situations. Over time, you may lose your ability to relax and enjoy life. I can help you to develop more effective skills and to reclaim your joy. I welcome clients of every ethnicity, cultural background, gender and sexual identity. I practice cultural humility. I work with many LGBTQ+ folks. I have extensive experience working with immigrants - particularly those from Spanish-speaking countries - and first-generation Americans. I provide therapy in English and Spanish. En español: Mi pasión es ayudar a las personas a sentir más alegría, relajación, confianza y conexión. Tengo mucha experiencia acerca de manejar el estrés y la ansiedad, aumentar la autoestima, adaptarse a cambios, y sanarse después de traumas. Además de escucharte y ayudarte a desarrollar el entendimiento sobre tus retos, te enseñaré técnicas para manejar mejor las dificultades y disfrutar más de la vida. Muchas veces, los problemas emocionales nacen como modos de adaptarte a las dificultades. Pasa algo difícil y te preocupas. Para protegerte intentas a controlar todo y evitas ciertas situaciones. Pero pasa el tiempo y puede ser que pierdes la habilidad de relajarte. Yo te puedo ayudar a desarrollar técnicas más eficaces para disfrutar de la vida otra vez. Doy la bienvenida a clientes de cada etnia, cultura, género e identidad sexual. Tengo mucha experiencia trabajado con mexicanos, puertorriqueños y personas de otras partes de Latinoamérica. Doy la terapia en español o inglés (o espanglish, si prefieres). Para recibir una consulta gratis por teléfono, llámame o mándame un email. Hasta pronto.
