Yadira offers a judgment-free zone where you can freely express yourself, and a safe place where you can unpack what weighs you down. Are you riddled with sadness, fear, worry, and/or anxiety?

I am here to walk with you, support you, and empower you on your journey toward a happy, whole, and purposeful life. Yadira utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (DBT, CBT), and Mindfulness approaches, is Trauma- Informed and offers holistic approaches such as incorporating spirituality in counseling, as an option.

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

Clients can expect in my first session a supportive nonjudgemental space so they can feel comfortable expressing their needs. I enjoy helping clients gain awareness of their presenting problem in order to make the most healthy and holistic decisions for themselves and their situations. I look forward to the opportunity to support you and empower you to live a happier and more complete life.

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