Hello! I'm Carmen. Do you ever feel like you're navigating life's challenges alone, without anyone truly understanding you? Are you struggling in your relationships, either with others or with yourself? Maybe there's something in your past that's casting a shadow on your present, making it difficult to find peace? I'm here to offer a safe haven, free from judgment, where adolescents and adults can explore and embrace their true selves. My approach is warm and friendly. I tailor each session to your unique needs, incorporating evidence-based techniques that foster self-discovery and personal growth. Together, we'll work on effective communication, nurturing self-love, and breaking free from limiting beliefs and negative thoughts. I specialize in helping individuals heal from past traumas, empowering them to embrace a life filled with peace, gratitude, and hope. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or the aftermath of trauma, know that I'm here to support you every step of the way. As an LGBTQ+ ally, I provide a welcoming space for everyone. Taking that first step towards healing can feel daunting, but it's also a powerful testament to your strength and resilience. When you're ready to embark on a journey of positive change and personal fulfillment, reach out to schedule a session with me. Together, we'll pave the way for the healing and growth you deserve.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, my main goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable opening up at your own pace. I strongly believe in allowing clients to guide the direction of our work, as you are the expert of your own experience. We'll begin by getting to know each other a bit. I'll ask some questions to understand what has brought you in to therapy and what your goals are. I'm interested in learning about your background, relationships, daily life, and the challenges you're facing. This will help us to work together to set goals and a tailored plan for us to work through in follow up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I use compassion, empathy, and validation for all of my clients. I also work closely with clients to reframe their experiences to reduce distress and promote healing, growth, and resilience.
