About Me:
I prioritize acceptance and attuned sensing to create a therapeutic experience that opens up possibilities for safe exploration and change. I believe that we often have unrecognized wisdom and strengths that can be fully and joyfully discovered with the right tools and insights. My experience has been working with English and Spanish-speaking persons, sometimes with families where both languages are spoken simultaneously during the session. You can expect a peaceful and engaged approach that focuses on a client-paced relationship that relies on well-researched and clinically supported approaches. If you would like to reach out, please know that you will be met with an ally that will listen with care and without judgment. Let’s find your path to health together.
Outside of sessions, I enjoy spending time working out, hiking, playing tennis, and painting. I also enjoy lounging at home or reading and writing from a coffee shop.
Sobre mí:
Priorizo la aceptación y la sensibilidad sintonizada para crear una experiencia terapéutica que abre posibilidades para la exploración y el cambio. Creo que a menudo tenemos sabiduría y fortalezas no reconocidas que pueden descubrirse con plenitud y alegría con herramientas y conocimientos apropiados. Mi experiencia ha sido trabajar con personas que hablan inglés y español, a veces con familias donde se hablan ambos idiomas simultáneamente durante la sesión. Puede esperar un enfoque pacífico y comprometido que se centre en una relación al ritmo del cliente que se base en enfoques bien investigados y respaldados clínicamente. Si desea comunicarse, sepa que se encontrará con un aliado que lo escuchará con atención y sin juicio. Encontremos juntos tu camino hacia la salud.
Fuera de las sesiones, disfruto hacer ejercicio, caminar, jugar tenis y pintar. También disfruto descansar en casa o leer y escribir en una cafetería. ¡Estoy emocionado de embarcarme con Melissa en este increíble viaje!
