Sometimes emotions and experiences are hard to speak, see and feel. As someone who wishes to support those sitting in front of me in whatever their struggle is, I think deep listening requires getting involved in how life is right now and maybe how it's always been, or felt. That means, I really want to know how you experience your life. Sometimes learning this involves different ways of understanding through your words and ideas, but also sometimes it involves being seen in your everyday struggle. This process can be vulnerable, frustrating, and liberating to see more clearly. Connection, acceptance and empathy bring peace of mind.
My approach to therapy considers psychodynamics, attachment style, developmental and experiential trauma history as well as your culture, identity, and childhood. My work with adults has inspired me to support couples, children, and families. Uso estos practicas con mi experiencía para enseñar y guiar individuales hacer los cambios que desean en su vida.
I look forward to connecting with you and encourage you to meet several therapists to explore a connection that feels right. Especially if you are new to this. Therapy can be an intimate organic process that takes time. We may start weekly at first, and later decide more frequency is wanted or perhaps needed. Assessment of your needs is ongoing. Welcome.

I would describe my psychoanalytic curiosities as considering the impact of early pre-verbal life disturbances. Helping you as patient connect your suffering to challenging body experiences or intense life experience feels like where my attunement excels. Difficult to describe challenges in relationship, with cultural identity, career or life transitions can bring up conflicts from the past.
