About Macarena
Feeling heard can be the beginning of change.
I began my career in education, working with underserved students. After interviewing high school students, I was struck by how deeply they wanted someone to truly listen to them. That experience inspired me to make a career change into counseling psychology.
I began my counseling career as a school counselor, but I quickly discovered that my true passion was therapy, which led me to transition into outpatient mental health. My heart lies in working with clients struggling with addiction. I find their experiences and their commitment to recovery deeply inspiring. I also enjoy working with anxiety and depression, as learning to manage these symptoms can be foundational to emotional wellness.
