MEET THE STAFF


ROSALBA RIOS

Blessings, I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern.  Through out the course of my life, I have come to experience an array of circumstances and challenges that have shaped and continue to expand my heart.  The journey of the heart is a wild adventure filled with wondrous discovery and sometimes difficult landscapes.  There are even times when the journey seems too dangerous or impossible to continue; nonetheless I have also experienced God’s tender grace and strength during these times, only to savor healing, rest, and victory after the storm. 
It never ceases to amaze me at how precious and valuable is the journey of the heart.  I find that God has given me an amazing privilege to walk along side others in their journey as they travel the valleys, the mountains, and even the deserts of their heart by sharing their life’s story.  Allow me to invite you in embarking on the journey of healing and growth.  You’ll find that the journey of your heart will continue outside the counseling office, however we can begin the journey of discovery together. 

Bendiciones, mi nombre es Rosalba B. Rios y soy una Marriage and Family Therapist Intern (terapeuta de familias y matrimonios).  Durante el curso de mi vida, he experimentado circunstancias que han sido difíciles de enfrentar pero que han servido para moldear y expandir mi corazón.  La jornada del corazón es una aventura llena de descubrimientos maravillosos al igual que caminos difíciles.  Hay ocasiones, que la jornada parece imposible de cruzar pero he experimentado la tierna gracia de Dios y fortaleza durante esos momentos para también probar el descanso, la sanidad, y la victoria después de la tormenta.
 Nunca me deja de maravillar que tan precioso y valioso es la jornada del corazón.  Siento que Dios me ha regalado un gran privilegio en caminar con otros cuando atraviesan valles, montañas, y aun desiertos al compartir las historias de sus vidas.  Permítame extender una invitación hacia la sanidad y el crecimiento de su interior, de su corazón.  Encontrara que la jornada continuara aun después y afuera de la oficina de consejería, sin embargo le extiendo una invitación a caminar con usted al comienzo de su jornada.
