About me

Are you struggling with intense emotions that keep you exhausted and depleted? I understand the struggle and how frustrated or hopeless you may feel. Life can be demanding at times. Asking for help takes courage and can be the turning point to achieving wellness, peace and fulfillment. Perfection does not exist and we cannot make all our problems go away, but 
Psychotherapy can give you the skills to cope and exert your true self so that you can thrive and take control of your life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Sessions with me are collaborative and respectful. Together we will develop a unique direction and pace of treatment that best suit your needs. It is important to me that each client feel knowledgeable, strengthened, and encouraged during the counseling process.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

In my work with clients I build a trusting connection via empathy, warmth, humor and honesty that promotes self-awareness and facilitates change. I will provide a safe and comfortable place where we can explore solutions that work for you without judgment or pressure. I believe that people are the experts in their own lives. I facilitate the discovery of you and assist you in healing and building a balanced life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As a Psychotherapist I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples and families, with a focus on anxiety, depression, and trauma. I utilize a Client-Centered approach using Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address challenges such as self esteem, new stage of life, personal losses, and experienced traumas. I have experience assisting clients of all ages in changing unhealthy emotional and behavioral patterns. Our work can help you gain a new perspective and lead you to a place of emotional balance, inner joy, wholeness, and contentment with yourself and your life.

I haven’t felt this much relief in a while, being heard today, by Ivette, makes me feel that this will work for me and she was just amazing at listening and giving feedback. Felt great, felt heard and seen. Thank you 🙏🏽
