Everyone needs support. Have you been dealing with life with no support from friends or family? Are you dealing with childhood trauma, estrangement and or abandonment from your family of origin? Are you having difficulty attracting and keeping a healthy intimate relationship? Maybe you have been coping all these years without really exploring and understanding your pain. We help clients understand themselves with compassion rather than shame and self judgment. We are sensitive to your values ,needs and are culturally sensitive. I work well with actors struggling through their challenges. Hablo ESPANOL
I take a client-centered approach and solution focus. By collaborating together you will discover your strengths and passions. I specialize in life and childhood trauma, psychosomatic illness, families dealing with Alzheimer's disease and alcohol. ALL types of addiction, FAMILY scapegoating, self esteem issues and relational difficulties.
I experienced lots of challenges in my life and i am aware of the difficulties we encounter in having to create a new life and a new perspective of life. However when we really want change its better to do it with someone that has been through similar life experiences and challenges believe I can offer my expertise as a professional and my life experience.
