Hi there, I'm Xzaviera!

Therapy is a place to provide tools that help you develop coping skills, regulate emotions, and decrease overall distress. I believe there is not one size fits all in terms of what helps clients improve their lives. I will implement skills from different orientations that suit your specific needs and tailor your treatment plan accordingly. I am aware of cultural diversity and provide a safe space. I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and adolescents struggling with Trauma, Perinatal Mood, and Anxiety Disorders. I am eclectic, and use tools and modalities such as DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), Brainspotting, EFT (emotionally focused therapy), DIR floor therapy, play therapy, infant mental health, working with bonding and attachment, and infant massage will help you reach your goals. My approach to therapy is strength-based, built on the foundation of trust and respect, to help you improve functioning and develop skills based on your abilities and needs. In individual therapy, I often combine DBT and brainspotting to help you heal. I believe in being transparent with my clients and providing at the moment realistic feedback. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible and leave each therapy session feeling like you gained insight, skills, and emotional regulation you didn't have previously. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel empowered and utilize the skills you learn in therapy throughout your life. The space I provide will allow you to feel safe to explore yourself and feel understood. Here, you and all of your vulnerabilities will be accepted.
