More about Rosario
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
Through my extensive work in the field for over the past eight years in various settings and with diverse populations I have developed a multi-faceted approach to helping families, couples, and adults heal. I find great joy in creating a unique therapeutic experience that is tailored to you, which is why I integrate different approaches into my practice. I meaningfully aim to provide you with a different perspective on your situation that can help you obtain clarity and peace. I support you by increasing your awareness of the deep fears and strong emotions that may be holding you back and leaving you feeling stuck.
My goal is to deeply connect with your personal experience, and provide you with a trusting and non-judgmental environment to foster a collaborative process so that together we can create lifelong changes. I don't just find temporary solutions that may help fix your current situation but rather, I believe in transformation, which is often a process that takes patience and commitment.
