More about Guadalupe

  • 2 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

My style is warm, empathetic, and grounded in both practical tools and deeper healing. I support trauma survivors, those navigating cultural identity issues, and anyone managing the stress of daily life. I tailor therapy to each person, drawing from a range of approaches based on what feels most supportive. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a willingness to explore change. I welcome spiritual reflection if it’s meaningful to you. My goal is to help you heal, grow, and move forward with confidence in your own life.
