Hello
Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Adrienne, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate their unique paths to well-being and happiness. Allow me to share a bit about my background and passions that drive my work and life.
Roots and Family
I was born to a Puerto Rican mother and a Mexican father, whose diverse cultures and experiences have deeply influenced my worldview and approach to therapy. Although my parents divorced, their strengths and challenges have shaped who I am today. I believe that understanding and embracing our roots is essential in the journey towards personal growth and healing.
Personal Life
I am happily married to my wonderful spouse, and together we share our home with a delightful Maltese named Kia. Kia brings endless joy and laughter into our lives with her playful antics and loving nature.
Family time is incredibly important to me. Whether it's gathering around the table for a competitive board game or collaborating on a challenging puzzle, these moments of connection and fun are cherished memories. They remind me of the importance of togetherness and the simple joys that strengthen family bonds.
Passions Beyond Therapy
Outside of my professional life, I have a passion for weight lifting and reading. Weight lifting is not just a physical activity for me; it's a discipline that teaches resilience, perseverance, and the value of setting and achieving goals. It's a way to clear my mind, stay healthy, and challenge myself.
Reading is another passion that enriches my life. From diving into the latest research in psychology to losing myself in a captivating novel, books are a constant source of knowledge, inspiration, and relaxation. They allow me to explore new ideas, gain different perspectives, and continuously grow both personally and professionally.
My Approach to Therapy
As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for my clients. I believe in the power of empathy, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving. My approach is holistic, taking into account the emotional, mental, and relational aspects of each person's life. I strive to empower my clients to discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
