Lets grow together!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my bio. Hi, My name is Dolores. I am thrilled to come along with you on your therapeutic journey. I understand that some clients might feel emotionally overwhelmed at the thought of speaking to a counselor about their personal problems and story. Not knowing what therapy might be like also makes the decision to seek therapy a daunting one. I use a Narrative therapy approach to help you understand your unique story and situation. It is my hope that you allow me to walk with you as we explore yours.

Narrative therapy is a style of therapy that helps people embrace and adopt a being that makes them the expert in their own lives. There is an emphasis on the stories that are told, developed, and carried through your life. In turn, these stories influence how you see yourself and the world. Narrative therapy involves listening and collaborative conversation. This approach believes that the person is not the problem – the problem is the problem. Together we will explore your own unique story so that you gain a better understanding of negative patterns, issues in your career, how you express your feelings and thoughts, possible reasons for depression or anxiety, and the many other life issues that are weighing on you.

I believe together we can form a trusting counselor and client relationship in which we both strive to achieve to bring about positive change in your life. I believe in creating an environment where the client feels safe enough to discuss what is on their mind. My role as your counselor is to help facilitate your journey, whatever form it may take. I strive to empower you and assist you in expanding healthy awareness, rather than to give you advice.
