As a Mental Health Therapist, I have dedicated the past 16 years helping people primarily children, to cope, understand and heal from their past and present emotional pain. I’ve worked with highs school students, university students, adults , couples and now primary level students and although these individuals- and their families – come from all walks of life, the burden of the pain they feel is very much the same. Regrettably, there still is a heavy stigma associated with mental illness in Belize. However there has been some progress and I am now finding more people seeking treatment for their emotional pain and trauma. My goal is to have my clients understand that we all struggle from time to time and having an objective view of a therapist can help you discover the tools you may already have to overcome the negative thoughts and emotions. Therapy is a journey we embark on together and the end goal is to have clients learn to live the life they’ve always envisioned with happiness and fulfillment.
