I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, which include hospitals, public and private special schools, private practice, non-profit organizations and administration.

"I care a great deal about my clients and want your therapy to be a healing experience. Self-reflection can be emotionally upsetting when past events and their associated primal wounds are uncovered. We will work through these darker moments at a pace that you feel comfortable with. Relationships impact us, often times more than we realize. Many of our earliest relationships still influence us today in ways that are detrimental to our current relationships. Our work together may help you relearn ways of relating to others and to yourself in more compassionate ways."

"We are a group of bilingual therapist, among the issues that we explore are: relations, career, personal challenges, trauma, family dynamics and sex issues; also, gender infinity issues, power and control issues, inequality, intimacy, sexual problems, conflict and self-awareness. We provide our clients with a friendly and respectful environment that facilitates exploration and the possibility of seeing challenges from a different angle or perspective, with deep respect, an interested presence, and a curious attitude about our client's viewpoint. We believe in the power of healthy relationships. Relationships can be transformed if we are ready to re-invent ourselves."

"My philosophy on what makes an effectual clinician is deep compassion along with a strong ability to confront what a client can not see, doesn't want to see, or runs from, in a way that is digestible. This leads to transformational changes that are permanent and life changing. In my opinion, Carl Jung said it best, "Every defeat of the ego is a victory for the soul.""
