Gigi-Joy Aguilar
Do you feel stuck? Are you having trouble managing day-to-day worries and fears? Do you struggle with people pleasing? Saying yes when you want to say no? Often this creates anxiety, resentment, and dissatisfaction in our lives and relationships and can leave us feeling stuck and unfulfilled.
I’m passionate about empowering individuals to move beyond their worries, fears, create meaningful, lasting change, and learn how to thrive.
We will work together to create insight to shift old patterns and behaviors that are keeping you from living the life you want. We will develop reliable tools to manage and improve painful emotions and stressful situations. If you are ready to find a new sense of confidence and meaning in your life then I am here to help you get there.
First session
During your first session, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we begin getting to know each other. We’ll review what brings you to therapy, explore your current concerns, and discuss your goals for treatment. I’ll also gather some background information to better understand your experiences, while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, share as much or as little as you feel ready, and begin building a sense of safety and trust. Together, we’ll start identifying next steps and how we can work toward meaningful change.
