I think overall it went very well. I think it was the first time my son actually enjoyed a therapy session. I felt Mr. Hernandez did well to build a rapport with him, and my son responded to him well. I’m hopeful that he will see the benefit to therapy and be able to learn some coping mechanisms for when he feels overwhelmed. It was very different, in a good way, from our previous experience with therapy.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT)

I was drawn to mental health counseling because I've seen how profoundly people can change when they feel safe, seen, and supported. Therapy was a space where I began to understand myself in a deeper way, and that experience stayed with me. It inspired me to walk alongside others as they navigate their own challenges. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I listen, ask the right questions, and help you build tools and insight to move forward in a way that feels right for you. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and EMDR to help you process unhealthy thoughts and become more aware of your emotions without being overwhelmed. We'll begin by talking about what brings you to therapy and what you're hoping to work on. Whether your goals are clear or still taking shape, we'll define what progress might look like for you. I may ask about different areas of your life to get a fuller picture of who you are and how I can help. This is a safe space where you can be your authentic self.
