 Jose has experience working with various ages and struggles, such as anxiety/depression, trauma, and couples/family issues. He believes we can become trapped in unhealthy patterns, painful relationships, or overwhelming circumstances that cause us to lose hope for change. In the stuckness, the hardest thing to do is ask for help, so congratulations on seeking it out. His style uses a variety of approaches to build awareness of emotions and thoughts, explore how we connect/disconnect from them, take responsibility for choices made or not made, and change the patterns that entrench us. He views each person as a collaborative partner joining the knowledge of their life into the growth process to create healthy movement through life's obstacles.
