I am a clinical psychologist originally from Argentina. I work with adults of all backgrounds who look for support and strategies to create lasting changes in their lives and in their relationships. Many of my patients report symptoms of depression and anxiety related to relationship issues, life transitions, traumatic events, personal crisis or medical trauma. People who enjoy collaborative work grounded in dialogue, moments of insight and encouragement to experiment with new intentions and behaviors, typically tell me they find our sessions helpful, and report lower stress and increased connection in relationships.

With nearly 20 of clinical experience, I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, phobias and addictions. I use evidence-based therapies, guided by a humanistic approach. Compassion is central to my work, and I take care to avoid stigmatizing language, especially in the treatment of addiction. I don’t view people as “addicts,” but as those living a life of suffering. At its core, I believe the process of therapy builds resilience and restores a sense of inner strength.

Working through difficult experiences and emotions can be challenging. It can be even harder to make desired changes in ones life when certain patterns have been established for so long. I work hard to ensure that my clients feel safe and supported throughout this process. By creating a comfortable and lighthearted environment, individuals, families, and couples are able to gain some reprieve from the difficulties they are experiencing. This allows change to begin to occur in the lives of my clients.

As I became a psychologist, I held a dual-role as a Federal Correctional Officer and psychology intern — so I understand operational stress, hypervigilance, and trauma from the inside. I work with first responders, military, law enforcement, corrections, and healthcare professionals carrying PTSD, complex trauma, nightmares, OCD, anxiety, and the weight of high-risk work. If you've tried therapy that didn't get it, or you've never gone because you don't trust talking, you're in the right place. My job is to use the best treatments we have and help you get your life back — not to soften the work or sugarcoat what you've seen.

Lack of sleep takes a toll on every facet of our lives. Maybe you're tired of tossing and turning for hours every night, feeling exhausted but just can't fall asleep. Maybe you dread waking up in the middle of the night and counting the number of hours of sleep you might get before you have to get up and face another day. You may have tried all the usual sleep hygiene practices to fix your sleep, like cutting caffeine or limiting screen time, but sleep deprivation is still affecting your mood and energy level everyday. You're ready to stop worrying about sleep, feel rested in the morning, and get back into your life again.

In relationships, divorce or tough transitions in life, it’s easy to live in your head-overthinking, replaying the past, or fearing the future-while your BODY holds all the tension. I help you connect and notice where stress lives in your body, release it, and rewire old mental patterns that keep you stuck in your head. Together, we’ll work on regulating your nervous system so you can face tough transitions with greater ease, clarity, and self-compassion. You’ll learn to respond rather than react, view challenges from a new perspective, and create space for joy, connection, and the life you truly want to live.
