LMFT, 7 years of experience
Hi, I'm Aquino. Do you feel stuck, like you want things to be different in your life but can't seem to make it happen? I am here to help you figure out what you want to change and how to change. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, or any other stressors such as relationship issues I am here to help you. Although seeking help can be intimidating, I don't judge you and I do my best to create a safe environment for you to share your struggles. I hope that we can work together to challenge the obstacles in your path.
In our first session together, clients can expect for me to get to know them, their concerns, and their goals. Clients can also expect to experience a bit of my style of interaction to see if we are a good fit for each other.
As I shared earlier, I focus on helping people who are coming in with issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, life/work stress, and relationship issues. I have experience working with people who are experiencing low self-esteem because of a belief they have about themselves and I help them work through it and therefore, feel less depressed, less anxious, and more connected with the people in their lives. Unfortunately, I do not do any letter writing or complete any paperwork but I still hope that I can help you reach your goals so that your life feels more satisfying for you.
I am particularly focused on working with ages 18+ who are experiencing depression or anxiety and don't have effective tools to manage and/or move through it. I also work with clients who are adjusting to a new change in their lives and don't know what to do with the feelings that occur.
I use CBT to help people break down how unhealthy values may be affecting their perception of the world and how they think and rebuild using healthier thoughts.

I am endlessly grateful to Aquino, whom I've worked with for 2 years and I have never felt more seen or understood. I have finally come to a place where I feel that I don't need regular sessions in my life, a bitter sweet moment, however she has been nothing but an absolute angel for the entirety of my therapy journey. If you need someone who will genuinely listen, give you productive feedback, and help you achieve goals that felt impossible, Aquino will be with you every step of the way.

It was only my first therapy with Aquino, but she was excellent. I did not feel patronized and I felt she helped me stay on track; along with setting my goals as far as what I am wanting to achieve from therapy.
