I characterize myself as empathetic, curious, and spontaneous. Outside of counseling, my hobbies involve stories that help me make sense of who I am and the world we live in. I love reading, going to the movies, plays, and concerts. I also love discovering more about the world by traveling and meeting people from different cultures.
My ideal client knows that something has to change. They might not know exactly what, but they are willing to dig deep, face the fear of vulnerability, and find out who they want to be. A client may come in for various reasons, and in the end, discover that there is a lot behind the current issue. My ideal client has the courage to go there! I do my best to create a safe place that holds no judgments. In therapy, the client does most of the work. I am a companion that holds their hand when they need support and pushes them forward when they need the extra motivation. By finding out the client’s strengths, we can work together to build self-esteem, willingness, and hope.
I am proud to offer counseling services in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
