My approach to therapy

I focus on change, setting goals, holistic health, being present, personal growth, and energy work. I work with Individuals, youth, young adults,& families. Issues: HIV/AIDS, 2SQT, sexual abuse issues, reduce suicidal feelings and gestures, find peace through transitions, grief, depression, anxiety and PTSD. I worked 25 years in the public school setting. I am a bi-trilingual (Eng/Spanish/ and some French), and a multicultural therapist incorporating EMDR, & Quantum Healing. I have a doctorate in clinical psychology. This is team effort.
