I identify as an Afro-Latina women who enjoys working with clients, women and children of color who have experienced some form of mental, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. 

I’m Dedicated to helping my clients work through past or current experiences that cause feelings of self-doubt, depression, anxiety, and shame. I also specialize in working with children who struggle with school issues that may cause anxiety, low self-esteem and/or suicidal ideation.

I utilize narrative theory, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and attachment theory as the bases for my therapeutic approach. Throughout my mental health career, I have gained experience working in crisis management, substance use, domestic violence and severe mental health crises. 

As your therapist, my goal is to ensure you feel heard, understood, and empowered. We will work together in a non-judgmental way to recognize you can achieve fulfillment in your life's journey.

Wherever you are in life, I want to meet YOU there.

ABOUT BRYAN

 I am a graduate student pursuing my Master of Education in Counseling and Development with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT).

I dedicate time to building my clinical skills to ensure I am providing the best non-judgmental and affirming care for those who trust me to be their therapist on their healing journey.

My goal is to empower you to overcome the obstacles in your life and to help you create boundaries and confidence for the future you envision for yourself. I am committed to being a compassionate and understanding therapist who listens to my clients and helps them to find their voice and strength.

ABOUT YOSSELIN

As a first-generation Mexican American woman raised by immigrant parents, I would like to be of service to clients who feel as though they don’t have a voice, or a story worth sharing or being heard.

 My main areas of focus consist of the LGBTQIA+ community, immigrants of all backgrounds, and Spanish speaking persons. I have training and experience working with children, teens, couples, and families.

I know change can be scary. But change can also be a transformative experience for you and those in your life! Whether you’re struggling to navigate through life’s challenges, anxiety, depression, identity or cultural issues, I’ll be the mirror sitting across from you supporting you in becoming the person you are meant to be. 

If you’re open to growth, reconnecting with yourself and others then you’ve already taken the first step. I see you!
