Are you experiencing post-partum symptoms, anxiety, feelings of abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, or challenges related to parenting? With over 18 years of experience using evidence-based therapies, I am confident in my ability to tailor my approach to your individual needs and support your healing process. As a mental health professional, I am committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment where clients can address issues related to anxiety, depression, women's concerns, or emotional exhaustion. My primary aim is to help clients establish healthy communication boundaries with themselves and others, thereby significantly enhancing their quality of life. Furthermore, I possess extensive experience with the emotional, mental, and behavioral conditions affecting children, recognizing that they necessitate different treatment approaches compared to adults due to variations in cognitive development and maturity. Accordingly, I employ various therapeutic techniques adapted to your child's age and specific circumstances. These interventions can help your child develop coping strategies, improve social interactions, and manage emotions more effectively. Depending on your child's age and individual needs, I may collaborate directly with you or other guardians to strengthen parenting skills or to address specific behaviors effectively. Engaging in counseling can facilitate personal growth and development across various facets of your life. If you are prepared to begin your journey towards improved well-being, I am here to support you throughout this process. **Habla Español**

EMDR
EMDR is a therapy designed to help people recover from trauma and distressing experiences. It is effective for conditions like PTSD, phobias, anxiety, stress, abuse, grief, and addictions. Endorsed by major organizations like WHO and the American Psychiatric Association, EMDR uses bilateral stimulations (eye movements, sounds, or tapping) to aid the brain's healing process. Its goal is to promote healthier emotions, understanding, and behaviors by reducing distress linked to traumatic memories and negative self-beliefs. Before beginning EMDR therapy, I will teach you relaxation and self-regulation techniques to help you prepare for the session.
