These therapy approaches help clients understand their thoughts and feelings and learn the coping skills to help manage their symptoms. Ana’s clients learn to understand and express their feelings in ways that are healthy and beneficial in everyday life. Ana understands and validates the feelings of her clients while helping them identify and focus on the positives that life has to offer them.

Ana is committed to understanding her clients and takes pride in learning about their culture and background. She understands the significant ways in which generational and other past trauma can influence behaviors and thinking, which will be important to process in therapy when the client is ready.
