What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. Our work together begins with getting to know you—your concerns, goals, and the context of your life—so I can tailor our sessions to best support your needs. In a therapeutic relationship, clients are the experts. I work in collaboration with client on specific issues they identify. I have a discussion in the very first session about what my clients are looking for, what has worked (or not worked) in the past, and how can I be of assistance. I bring a client-centered, solution-focused, and strength-based approach to treatment. Whether you’re navigating a specific life challenge or exploring longer-term patterns, our sessions will be focused on helping you gain insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. Therapy can be a powerful and transformative experience, and I’m here to walk that journey with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach to therapy begins with creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. In our initial sessions, I focus on building rapport, understanding your goals, and exploring your personal history to gain a comprehensive view of your concerns. Together, we’ll identify patterns, strengths, and areas for growth. I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, or trauma-informed care. Throughout our work, I emphasize collaboration, transparency, and open communication. Therapy is a process, and I view each client as an active participant in their own healing. Whether you're seeking short-term support or long-term exploration, I strive to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and foster lasting change.

Wilma was my first step into therapy after life changes and challenges and this was the most compassionate session I’ve had.

This was my first time seeing a therapist and Wilma was a great fit for us. She is a great listener, communicator, and broke things down very easily for us. I addressed two main issues and she came up with strategies for me to work on. I’m very hopeful and think everything will be ok. Thank you Wilma for making me feel comfortable and making it feel like a safe space for me ????

Wilma is so patient, kind, and calm. She really listens without judgement, asks great questions, and offers really good ideas.
I met Wilma a few years ago when I was going through a difficult divorce. This was a time of very sad and intense emotions that deeply affected my children. Wilma helped me deal with the loss and other emotions related to the divorce. She helped me learn effective ways of communicating with my children so that they could express their concerns. Wilma was very professional, patient, and caring. She had excellent clinical skills as well as cultural competence; often times sessions were held in Spanish, which is my primary language. She truly helped me get through a very difficult time in my life.
From day one I felt very comfortable with her. Wilma makes the person feel very comfortable and safe. She helped me to be emotionally and mentally well when I was going through the process of being separated from my boyfriend of 10 years. She listened to me. She reminded me that I am a human being full of feelings and that it is okay to express and live them. But she also challenged me with questions like, what would life be like now? positive & negative of getting out of comfort zone.
My visits with Wilma are extremely helpful and insightful. I always feel heard and understood. She always creates an atmosphere that feels safe and without judgment. I have made lots of progress through multiple circumstances that life tends to throw my way and I can say with conviction that Wilma has been instrumental in my personal success.
