It is exhausting holding up a mask to the world, pretending to be someone you aren’t just to fit in or to make it seem like your life is all put together, when in reality you're just trying to survive. Sound familiar? These feelings are normal, and they point us to our inner wisdom that something isn’t working: a situation, a habit, a relationship, etc. If you’re feeling stuck, you are not alone.
As a bilingual (English/Spanish) counselor, I take a trauma-informed, multicultural approach to working with clients ages 12 and up. I work with individuals impacted by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, as well as those looking for career coaching.
I tailor and integrate various treatment modalities like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to facilitate healing based on your specific needs. You deserve to be heard and for your needs to be met. Schedule a consultation with me and we can discuss what you’re looking for and how we can work together.
