Are you struggling to resolve conflicts or build joyful connections in your relationships? I am dedicated to helping couples, individuals, and families create lasting change. My specialties include working with adults on a wide variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, self-esteem, grief and loss, sexuality, multicultural issues, and spirituality. My integrative, trauma-informed approach combines Imago Relationship Therapy with positive psychology, somatic techniques, and mindfulness-based modalities, providing a holistic and personalized healing experience.
At the Imago Center DC, I oversee education and supervision, ensuring our clients receive the highest standard of care. As a faculty member of the Imago International Training Institute, I also train therapists in Imago Relationship Therapy, offering a unique 96-hour training program and ongoing supervision.
Fluent in English, Spanish, and French, I am a multicultural global citizen who embraces diversity. I hold a Masters in Counseling from Loyola, a Masters in Education from Harvard, and a PhD from Daybreak University. Let’s work together to create the joyful, connected life you deserve. Please reach out today!
