Great to meet you!

Life entails wins, successes, transitions, unexpected events, etc. My passion is boosting your self-efficacy, meanwhile, helping you to identify and implement new perspectives and practices to transform and start living a better life. Regardless of what it is, my goal is to normalize prioritizing your self-care, improve your coping capacity, build resilience, and increase your self-awareness.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Despite the reason for seeking counseling, my goal is to provide services that empowers and equips you with tools to triumph and overcome barriers impacting your well-being and quality of life, in addition to, shaping lifelong changes. I take a holistic approach to achieve healthy, optimal functioning. I believe in meeting you where you are and assisting you in moving towards your goals. I will apply the best theoretical orientation based on your specific needs, goals, and issues.

What you can expect from our first session

I approach counseling with the expectation of success comes with active participation and involvement from both the counselor and the individual to deal with symptoms, circumstances, stressors, and/or barriers impacting his/her well-being and overall quality of life. I create a safe and empowering environment to allow an individual to be transparent, vulnerable, and his/her authentic self, meanwhile, being a catalyst for positive change and a healing journey.
