LPC, 10 years of experience
I enjoy working with people to help them build a strong sense of self, encourage their confidence in relationships, and help foster a sense of calm and security in their everyday life. I enjoy helping parents navigate the many challenges that come our way. I believe people seek therapy for many reasons: adjustment to a new city or life situation, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or problems with relationships. Counseling is a process that most of us could benefit from time to time at different stages in life, as it brings an outsider's perspective to events, we are faced with in day-to-day life in a nonjudgmental way.
In our first session we'll start with brief introductions, then gather a history to better understand who you are now. This will help me with understanding how your current challenges are affecting you and tailor a plan we can for through in follow-up sessions.
I specialize in children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I have worked with parents in marital conflict and worked also with individuals on issues that ranged from adjustment disorders to post-traumatic stress disorder.
I love working with people who are looking to work on their challenges and learn new skills, obtain tools. Ideally it would be good for people to be ready and open, but I don't mind walking with anyone who has reservations about therapy and it benefits.

Ana provides resources and book suggestions to help me better understand the process. She is very solution focuse. Every session I leave with questions and strategies to implement.

She is so easy to talk to and really breaks things down, so that you find the root of the problem.

She is very understanding and job judge mental. She’s also very easy to talk to. I trust her to guide me and keep me balanced.
Each person is unique and therefore each time I meet a new client I tailor my treatment methods to fit the client. I like to mix theories if it will help the person rather than continue to do the same thing until it works.
