LMFT, 25 years of experience
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I try to infuse an empowerment perspective into the relationship-focused approach to produce effective counseling for individuals, couples, families, children and parents and youth and adults with disabilities. I aspire to assist you in channeling your energy towards a thriving and fulfilling life. I am dually licensed in California and Texas.
Let's review some of current challenges and personal history to help me understand you and your perspective. This will enable us collaborate on treatment goals that will support your vision of improving your daily functioning towards life satisfaction and fulfilment. Let's make sure that my honesty and bluntness matches your needs towards a healthier life. ***If you are a parent of a young child, (less than 10), please be aware that telehealth sessions are sometimes difficult for children that young and I strongly recommend you look for an in-person therapist, if at all possible.***
I will be honest and direct, yet supportive, to enable change at your pace, but keeping you accountable for daily change. I will serve as your sounding board as you implement behavioral strategies that support lifestyle allowing you to thrive in personal, family, and professional life. I want to be available to support you when you need it the most, not just when its convenient for me.
I enjoy working with individuals who are "done struggling" and are motivated to find solutions to whatever has been holding them back from reaching their full potential. I aim to challenge cognitions that negatively impacted your life and enable you to discover powerful and positive insights to modifying behavior and/or cognitions to daily functioning.
Understanding the multitude of relationship dynamics at play; educating clients on helpful communication skills, conflict resolution, assertiveness training, self-esteem building, and boundary setting.

I really enjoyed my first session with Adriana! I felt like she connected right away and made it a very comfortable environment to share. She seemed to comprehend everything really easy and was able to counter my challenges with solutions.

I am very satisfied with Adriana and felt comfortable with her since our first session. She is goal oriented, which I appreciate, but also gives me the opportunity to express myself at length when needed. I always feel heard and appreciated for who I am. I am very happy with the care I am receiving.
