MEET DULCE
Sometimes clients feel overwhelmed by their personal, professional or academic lives. They may feel burnt out or burdened by excessive stress and anxiety to the point where it begins to cause them problems. In these moments, many clients may not be sure about starting therapy as they may feel “stuck” in their situation.
I use a trauma-focused and person centered therapy approach to help my clients improve their mental health, cope with their symptoms and accomplish their therapeutic goals. In therapy sessions, I use a non-judgmental and affirmative approach to create a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment for them.
I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives and have the capacity for growth and self-actualization. With the tools that we develop in therapy, my goal is for clients to discover their inner strengths and heal.
