Bienvenidos

I'm Lupe, a Licensed Professional Counselor that has been supporting individuals with their mental health since 2015. I applaud you for coming to this space as I can understand that finding someone to talk to, process, vent, and/or ask for help can be daunting.    

If you're considering therapy, I invite you to come as YOU are, share whatever is on your mind without fear of getting hurt through judgment, invalidation, etc. My intentions is to welcome you into a safe and comfortable space where together we can work towards making situations in your life easier to navigate. Throughout the therapy journey, your voice and authenticity are essential elements to achieving your goals and intentions.

My approach to supporting you is through a trauma-informed lens in which current stressors are explored to identify any possible connections to past life experiences. People are offered an opportunity to gently explore the root(s) of what may be causing current symptoms and a possible plan to address the core concern. 

 

I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is an evidenced based form of therapy to help recover from trauma related symptoms (i.e. anxiety, depression). EMDR and somatic work is incorporated into the therapeutic journey to further support your intentions for therapy. Other approaches also incorporated include ego-state therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness.
