Emotionally Focused Therapists in 23510

As a first generation bilingual Guatemalan immigrant, I am committed to providing therapeutic services to varying diverse communities. It can be difficult to find professionals with whom you can feel safe with. I am culturally aware and embrace all our differences. My relational approach helps me look at people as small parts of a bigger whole. I believe and trust in that "gut feeling", the voice within we sometimes ignore. I want to work alongside you to focus on the emotional healing, and start the process of restoring hope and confidence. I help people address anxiety, cultural issues, loss, and other life transitions.

Feeling disconnected in your relationships? Feeling overwhelmed? Struggling to connect with those that matter most in your life? Sometimes life can be complicated and chaotic, which leaves the most capable and successful people feeling hurt and disconnected. I honor your courage in taking this first step to seek healing. Perhaps you are here because you feel stuck in your life, marriage or family; whatever pain you may be experiencing, it would be a privilege to partner with you on your journey towards greater peace and freedom as you break free of painful cycles and embrace peace in your life and relationships.

I help clients to move beyond beliefs of self-hate and doubt to feelings of self-love and celebration. My clients improve their self-compassion while healing past pain, leading to deeper connection with the people in their lives. We develop strategies to replace old coping mechanisms that are no longer helpful or never were. I believe we are all more than the worst things we have ever thought about ourselves.

Struggling with loss in a relationship? Betrayal? Abandonment? Shame? Living with or beyond illness? Maybe you are caring for a loved one who is chronically ill. We all get wounded. Seeking therapy is one way to care for yourself as you navigate these challenging experiences. Even in the most difficult times of life, we have an amazing capacity to grow, learn, connect, love, and to find meaning and purpose. This can be balanced with the uncomfortable feelings of grief, survivorship, loss of intimacy and sexuality. My deep compassion blended with fierce knowing, allows me to help people make significant changes.

My goal is to help my clients decrease their undesirable symptoms and to bring awareness to the root causes of these symptoms. Ultimately, I want to help clients cope with current emotional stressors and then work towards a long-term solution to better prepare for the curveballs that life throws at us. I utilize a laid back and genuine approach with clients, and I find that a side of humor adds value to sessions as well.
