My clinical work helps to improve relationships, effectively manage challenging and overwhelming emotions, and to understand conflicts in various areas of your life.

Hope is tangible. “Existe la esperanza.” Life experiences, hurts, burdens, and endless chaos can leave one devastated, isolated, and feeling alone. There is more than emptiness. There is tangible and real-life hope. Ingrid has worked with people for over fifteen years in the role of educator, mentor, and professional counselor.

What was once an exciting and vibrant relationship has become stale and unfulfilling. You may feel like you don't know who your partner is anymore. Or who you are, for that matter. You aren't sure you're meeting your partner's needs, and you certainly aren't feeling as though they are meeting yours. You are probably wondering if it's possible for the two of you to ever be happy again. But you aren't ready to give up just yet.

Confused and discouraged by your own behavior, you ask, "Why do I keep doing things that hurt me and the ones I love?" You've been stuck in a cycle of engaging in your behavior, feeling guilty and ashamed, vowing to make it up by being "good," only to find yourself back in the behavior all over again. Or maybe you gave up being "good" a long time ago and have completely given up hope of changing. You've been coping with the secrets, guilt, and shame alone for too long, & you know you need something different. You want to stop behaving this way, show your loved ones that you're trustworthy, and enjoy life.
