Hi there! I'm Adriana, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I obtained my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University and have been practicing for 14 years. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to providing compassionate support to individuals and families as they navigate significant life changes, such as marriage, divorce, relocation, career shifts, and other transitions. My therapeutic approach focuses on creating a safe and nurturing environment where clients can openly explore and process their thoughts and emotions, ultimately fostering healing and personal growth. I have a passion for helping people transform into the best version of themselves, and I would love to come alongside you to inspire you to reach your maximum potential. Life can be overwhelming, but seeking support, understanding the past, gaining new insight, and developing new skills through therapy can bring relief and help you thrive. My goal is to help you tap into your own inner wisdom so that you can heal, grow, and thrive, ultimately living a more fulfilling life. Taking the first step toward growth and change takes courage, but the results can be life-changing. I provide services in both English and Spanish. My passion is to provide culturally sensitive and individualized services to help individuals and families overcome struggles and move on to more meaningful and fulfilling lives. Only you have the ability to make yourself happier, so congratulations on taking the first step! I look forward to hearing from you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our initial session, we will start by introducing ourselves and getting to know each other. Following that, we will delve into a discussion about the specific obstacles and difficulties that you are currently encountering. By thoroughly understanding your challenges, I will be able to develop a customized and comprehensive plan for us to collaboratively address and work through in our subsequent sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of individuals, families, and couples. My experience includes working with clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, social anxiety, relationship issues, and family of origin concerns.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I find fulfillment in collaborating with individuals who are currently navigating various life challenges. I work with teens and adults to understand each unique situation with compassion and non-judgment to encourage healthy living. My clients are driven to make positive changes but may require guidance to effectively implement these changes. My primary aim is to support you in enhancing your communication skills and managing overwhelming emotions through the exploration and application of diverse coping mechanisms and strategies.
