Silvia Avila
I specialize in working with clients who may be experiencing intense emotions such as deep sadness, frustration, anger, emptiness, feelings of not belonging or having the same value as others, panick, giving up, being in an unhealthy relationship, fighting or arguing with family members, and/or simply feeling “stuck”. I have helped many clients heal and recover from depression, anxiety, post -traumatic stress, sexual abuse, break-ups, and other emotional difficulties.
