English
| español During our lives, we can find ourselves in painful, often repetitive situations without understanding why. I provide a safe, thoughtful space in order to help expand both your understanding of problems, and your potential for change. I believe that we all have the talents, strengths and skills necessary to make meaningful changes in our lives, and I employ extensive therapeutic experience, professional knowledge, empathic curiosity, and playfulness in the treatment of individuals ages 11 and older, couples, and families. I look forward to helping you identify and achieve your life goals.
I specialize in the needs of adolescents and young adults, and focus on helping them establish an authentic and rewarding experience of themselves in their relationships with others and their work. I am also fluent in Spanish and sensitive to the issues faced by Latino persons adjusting to life in the U.S.
I use a combination of contemporary psychodynamic and family therapy perspectives as part of a collaborative, relationship-based process with you. If you are a child's caregiver, please be assured that I value your insight and inclusion in the treatment process.

Groups
Men's Group
Ongoing virtual (Zoom) interpersonal process group for male-identified adults interested in better understanding themselves, improving self-esteem, and strengthening relationships with others. Individuals learn about their social and relational difficulties by exploring here-and-now interactions with others experiencing similar struggles. A place to listen, be heard, and understood. As leader, I create a safe space grounded in playful curiosity where members can openly express themselves, give and receive feedback, learn new behaviors, and practice new ways of communicating. It is recommended that members have prior or current experience in individual therapy.
