LCSW, 5 years of experience
Hey, I am Antonia! Are you Feeling defeated, overwhelmed, mentally exhausted or just having a hard time adjusting to the changes occurring in your life! You are starting at the right place. As individuals we are faced with so many stressors in our lives. Sometimes we need the guidance and support to help us naviagate through life. Sometimes we need a neutral person who we can tell our story to, who is there to listen, without judgement. I have experience in working with individuals and couples who are recovering from trauma, facing a difficult time in life or struggling with depression and anxiety. *** Please note that I am only able to schedule appointments on the hour (i.e. 3:00), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 3:30). Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the scheduling platform. ***
I encourage you to tell your story and create your ending. It doesn’t matter where or how you started all that maters is how you move forward. Life has many chapters, you get to decide how those stories are told.
To deliver the best counseling to my clients, I utilize different therapy approaches and modalities based on their needs including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and a Narrative Approach. With a narrative approach, I encourage every client to tell their story from their point of view. It's your story, you went through it, you felt it–own it! My goal is to tap into the many strengths you already have and help you achieve the best version of yourself.
Life Transition is one of my biggest strengths! Adjusting can be difficult, I would love to support you on this journey. My specialties include young adults, needing guidance and support as they transition into adulthood. Single adults faced with social challenges, dating, family conflicts and understanding where you fit in. Married adults adjusting to playing many roles but still finding your peace and being yourself.
Young adults, adults, couples. POC, first generation immigrant, first generation American.
