My dream client is someone who is growth oriented and ready for healing. One gets from therapy what one puts into it, if you are commited to achieving the goals you have set for therapy, then you and I will become invincible as I feel pretty confident I have the tools to get you there. If you commit to doing the assigned homework, exercises and tools, I guarantee that you WILL feel better, you will experience a sense of empowerment, confidence, an increased ability to navigate life and relationship's challenges effectively
First session is pretty relaxed. I have no expectations, its all about you getting to know me and I you. This, so that you can get a glimpse of the authentic me; someone who cares, someone who truly desires to see you bloom and shine and for me, to get to know you well so that I can understand you better.
I chose this field because I am a healer, I am passionate about seeing people create the shifts in their life that changes it all for the better. I think this passion is easily observable and felt in our interaction in session
I am of Hispanic background, battled my own challenges to get to where I wanted to be, where I am. I am best able to understand the struggles of the underpriviledge and oppresed who also feel deep inside that they are meant to be more or to build a life that is more than what you have right now
I like to include mindfulness tools in each session with the goal of facilitating client managing their symptoms while in treatment and after they complete it
We are all at different places and stages in our personal development, self awareness, ability to manage with current challenges. Our backgrounds, personalities and skill levels are all different so I try to meet my clients where they are at in their life's journey
Some have extensive stories of trauma. Whether this trauma is a life threatening event or challenges in childhood, EMDR is pretty powerful to facilitate reprograming our minds, overcoming blocks and creating the shifts that helps us free ourselves from that inner distress that trauma causes
