Trauma Informed Care
Therapy can help you build resilience by developing coping strategies to process complex situations. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I help many first responders process trauma and feel more connected. Whether you’re dealing with negative thought patterns or recurring flashbacks, I can help you develop the best solution that meets your unique needs.
Strength-Based
I create a safe and nonjudgmental teletherapy space where you can be heard. You are encouraged to share what you feel at your own pace. I listen closely to your experiences. Together, we explore what is contributing to your distress. My focus is on your safety and your future. I help you develop skills to manage intense or painful thoughts. I support you in finding hope, stability, and meaningful connection. My approach is always respectful, compassionate, and individualized.

I really appreciated how Miguel guided us through our marriage counseling session with clarity and care. He gave us four practical action steps that I truly believe will help us stay grounded before our emotions escalate. His approach felt authentic, intelligent, and genuinely supportive.

It was only one session but I felt listened to. Pushed back when it seemed to make sense he would and encouraged at times too. Again, this was just one session but first impression was very good for me.
