English
| español | Português My experience has been working with adolescents and adults struggling with mental health issues as well as substance use/abuse. I work with several therapeutic approaches depending on the client's diagnosis and needs. I am also working towards EMDR certification which allow me to work with clients diagnosed with PTSD and childhood traumas.
I hope to assist my clients to achieve the goal of living a better and happier life learning about themselves and what their wants and needs are.
Therapy is about developing trust and having a safe place to talk about your thoughts, feelings, sensations and wishes. I hope to provide you with that type of environment and assist you to achieve the best of your potential to enjoy the best life you can have.
