Espanol: Tómate un momento para reconocer que has dado el primer paso para volver a ti y trabajar en tu bienestar. Tomar la decisión de buscar ayuda es un acto de mucha valentia. A veces preferimos quedarnos en nuestra zona de comfort por temor a enfrentar aquello que nos esta afectando. Trabajar en nosotros es el acto de amor propio más importante que podemos hacer. Asi que te invito a que tomes este momento y te valides ya que has superado el primer obstáculo. Espero que podamos conectarnos pronto y que me permitas ir de tu lado en este viaje hacia la sanación interior y bienestar emocional. Eres importante y eres valioso, no lo olvides ;) English: Take a moment to acknowledge that you've taken the first step to come back to yourself and work on your well-being. Making the decision to seek help is an act of great courage. Sometimes we prefer to stay in our comfort zone for fear of facing what is affecting us. Working on ourselves is the most important act of self-love we can do. So I invite you to take this moment and validate yourself since you have overcome the first obstacle. I hope we can connect soon and that you will allow me to go on your side on this journey towards inner healing and emotional well-being. You're important and you're valuable, don't forget it ;)

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

Esto me ayudará a crear un plan personalizado para que podamos trabajar en sesiones de seguimiento.

My treatment methods

Christian Counseling

Christian counseling offers opportunities for those who want to incorporate their belief in God into the treatment. Spiritual beliefs can foster optimism and resilience, helping people navigate through difficult times with a hopeful perspective, allowing for the ability to gain knowledge, hope, and additional support needed for change to occur, potentially improving their coping mechanisms in the overall healing process.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT allows people to identify and challenge unhelpful and distorted thought patterns, allowing them to effectively manage their emotions and behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT provides individuals with practical skills to manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, tolerate distress, and change harmful behaviors.
