Are you experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, feelings of abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, or parenting challenges? With over 18 years of experience in evidence-based therapies, I am confident in my ability to customize my approach to meet your individual needs and support your healing journey. As a mental health professional, I strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable discussing concerns such as anxiety, depression, women's issues, past trauma, or emotional exhaustion. My aim is to assist clients in establishing healthy communication boundaries with themselves and others, which can significantly enhance their overall well-being. I also have extensive experience working with children who face emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges, understanding that their treatment needs differ from adults due to developmental differences. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to your child's age and specific situation. These methods can help your child develop coping skills, enhance social interactions, and better manage their emotions. Depending on your child's age and needs, I may work directly with you or other caregivers to enhance parenting skills or address particular behaviors. Counseling can foster personal growth and improve various aspects of your life. If you're ready to start your journey toward better well-being, I am here to support you every step of the way. **Hablo 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.
