Hello, my name is Virginia. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in California. I have experience working with various ages from 3 to 50-years-old. I have worked in community-based mental health services to intense services with children and adults. Do you ever feel mixed emotions about specific events, situations, or relationships? Do you want to become more self-aware of yourself as an individual and increase your motivation? I love exploring self-awareness and self-love. I have a very open-minded style but can also be transparent to help motivate and challenge you. I enjoy making a difference in others’ lives. I believe that “On the other side of FEAR is SUCCESS.” Let’s work together to create change.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introduction of who i am and my role. We will than explore your life history and reason that brings you to therapy. This will help me have a better understanding of your needs and a plan for us to work through in follow up sessions. We will also explore the importance of consistent sessions as it impacts treatment.
I specialize in many areas but enjoy working with individuals to help with motivation, relationships, self-awareness, individualization, personal growth, self-love, self-care, stress management, communication, parenting skills, and so much more. Currently not providing couples/marriage therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy will help others understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (reactions) can all be connected and impact each other mentally.
