Gottman Method Therapists in 60613
Have you stopped feeling like yourself, or you don't recognize yourself in the mirror anymore? Are you afraid you are slowly losing your significant other or having vicious fights and don't know how to resolve them? Are you having thoughts or feelings that disturb you and you don't know who to talk to? Are you haunted by the past and you can't seem to move on? Maybe you are scared by your own thoughts and feelings and don't know where to turn, or you feel empty or are looking for meaning. I work with individuals, couples and families from a broad array of backgrounds, lifestyles and issues experienced.

I became a therapist because I have a deep desire to help others heal their emotional wounds and live richer, fuller lives. I believe we hold the answers we are looking for within us but sometimes need help accessing our inner strength and wisdom to uncover them. That is why I practice from a collaborative perspective, giving clients the space and time to go at their own pace. Using humor and warmth to create a relaxed, safe and accepting space, I meet clients where they are in their journey to explore past and present challenges, identify obstacles, and increase self-awareness and personal growth.

Growing up, I did not know much about mental health and therapy until I was in my own crisis. I was greatly impacted by mental health stigma that has had such a big impact of my Latinx community, and my own experience. I understand stigma is something that many different communities may face, and I hope to help break down that stigma so people can openly receive the help they need. After reaching out for help myself, I was able to start living up to a better version of myself. Now I hope to provide similar hope to others.

Therapy is a wonderful way to practice self-care and it is not just for those in crisis. I have experience working with adults experiencing life changes, identity development, existential issues, depression, anxiety, and distress related to relationships and family. I also specialize in working with couples who have communication issues, who are building the foundation of their relationship, and who are experiencing conflict.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Gottman Method (for couples), and motivational interviewing, among other skill sets.
Entering therapy is about developing a collaborative relationship between client and therapist. With that in mind, I make every effort to engage clients by first getting to know them and their needs; for change to occur for clients, they need to believe their therapist is trustworthy, sincere, and compassionate. I am experienced in supporting those navigating identity (gender, race, nationality, etc.), LGBTQIA+-related issues, fetish/kink/leather, polyamory/consensual non-monogamy, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ADHD, phase-of-life issues, emotion dysregulation, and relationship issues.

Being human is messy and the relationships we have with ourselves and others can often feel even messier. However, you, through your lived experiences, have a significant amount of important data about what is working for you versus what is not. Together we can use that data and determine what variables have been supportive as well as what elements may need a revised approach. Therapeutic work with me involves a deep respect for consent – you get to choose our direction, our focus, and where we are headed. I may gently steer us down a path, but ultimately you are the captain of our journey.
