It takes courage to recognize when something in your life isn’t working the way you’d hoped. You might be struggling with relationships, difficult life changes, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or overwhelmed by emotions you can’t quite name. These kinds of difficult feelings often signal parts of ourselves that need attention and care. In my work with both individuals and couples, these signals are explored so we can begin to uncover areas for healing, growth, and meaningful transformation. My specialties include: relationship issues, trauma, family conflict, ADHD.

For couples seeking therapy, I offer a compassionate and collaborative approach to help you and your partner deepen your connection and manage conflicts. We’ll work to uncover the sources of recurring challenges, explore underlying patterns, enhance communication, and rebuild intimacy. (Schedule a free consult: www.calendly.com/antoninavargas)

Before becoming a therapist, I studied theater, a background that enriches my ability to explore the complex narratives of my clients' lives. Drawing from a range of approaches, my goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can feel safe exploring their experiences and develop new ways of understanding themselves and, for couples, each other.
