You are bright, but you often don't know what you want out of life. You find yourself sad, lonely, sometimes rageful, and often without love. You are not alone. I understand the desire for control, and to 'know what to do.' I understand the fear that nothing will change. But you can change, as many have, and I can help.

I practice with a direct and compassionate focus on therapy; providing a safe, welcoming environment that allows for intimate therapeutic communication where trust and confidence come easily and naturally. Having been trained in psychoanalysis, I also incorporate CBT, ACT, narrative therapy and mindfulness to my practice. I am certified in EMDR and DBT as well as CSTIP (Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional).

Being vulnerable, feeling safe, laughing, and pushing past the distress are just a few of the moments that are shared in the therapeutic relationship journey. I often work with individuals, children, families and couples who feel lost and hopeless after experiencing trauma or feeling stuck by perpetuating issues. At times, experiences that we go through may also lead to anxiety, depression, and feeling lost for how to move forward. I work with individuals to help identify ways to have these "rocks" removed and develop plans that could be accessed outside of our therapy sessions.

You are probably here because you find yourself feeling stuck, with no control over what you are going through, being unkind to yourself, unable to stop your mind from racing or going into the worst scenarios. Fighting this can be frustrating and exhausting. You don’t have to do it alone. Through our work together you will be able to have a better understanding of your own patterns of behavior, why they are there, how to catch yourself falling into them and how to break with them when you consider they are not being helpful anymore.

I'm a strong advocate for emotional well-being. Experiencing emotions is as natural as feeling hunger, and facing emotional challenges, as common as experiencing appetite. Engaging in therapy to process emotions is essential, much like regular doctor visits, whether for a check-up, addressing initial symptoms, or seeking help when issues have already affected life functioning. My approach focuses on helping clients overcome doubts, difficulties, and challenges to promote a calm, stable, and fulfilling life, staying away from categorizing, labeling, or pathologizing. You can learn about me on my book Traumatization & Its Aftermath.

I believe that a positive and genuine therapeutic relationship is essential to successful treatment. My empathetic nature fosters an authentic and trusting therapeutic alliance with my clients, creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for each individual. I am passionate and dedicated to working with my clients to develop tools and find ways to help each of them lead happier and more satisfying lives. I use a range of therapeutic modalities to help clients explore their past, to better understand their present situation, and to develop specific skills to reach their goals and to improve their overall quality of life.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult. Let’s make it easier. By working together we can develop a personalized plan for you. I provide a friendly and inviting atmosphere, in an exceptional therapeutic environment. Using meditation, Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), we develop constructive skills for you to use in everyday life. Every person who walks in my door is unique and treated with compassion. Tengo fluidez en espaniol y mucha experiencia con parejas latinas.
