I'm passionate about exploring the intricate mind-body connection to facilitate your overall well-being. Embracing this synergy, I offer a comprehensive approach that addresses your mental, emotional, and physical health. My approach is centered on fostering harmony within yourself by addressing not just your thoughts and emotions, but also how they manifest in your body. Through this holistic lens, we work together to create personalized strategies that honor this mind-body connection, empowering you to achieve profound transformations.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages and gender to help them learn to cope with their unique psychological, emotional, and physical problems. I am trained in clinical psychology and psychoanalysis as well as in psychosomatics so I am able to treat a wide spectrum of disorders. I tailor my approach to the specific needs of the client rather than trying to make the client fit into a particular theoretical model or to work in a predetermined treatment modality.

I strongly believe that every individual is unique and no person or family is the same as another. As a bi-lingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I have had the pleasure to work with a diverse group of adults, children, and families. I have over 25 years experience working in psychotherapy, crisis intervention with domestic violence, child court advocate, as a forensic psychologist, and as a family court mediator. I assist children and families as they work through challenges and move toward rebuilding their self-confidence and creates a more positive outlook in life.

Life gets tangled up; it doesn’t have to stay that way. You may be wrestling with emotional ups and downs, life transitions, grief and loss, or strained family dynamics. You could be exploring future options, challenges from the past, or integrating life experiences into your personal or spiritual framework. Whether preparing for adulthood or navigating life's myriad of challenges, my clients are looking for a safe and empathetic space in which to unravel patterns and perspectives. They are seeking to develop a stronger sense of their own strengths and abilities with which to navigate life’s journey.

At Sana, we understand what it's like to go through pain, trauma, or depression. Isolation, impulsivity, or hopelessness become the only friends you know. You might have feelings of emptiness or conflict that make little sense. Trauma has been the backdrop of your life for as long as you can remember, and you're tired. Your goal is to recover, to find contentment, or just move through the world with a bit more ease. You have personal dreams and desires and would love to one day reach them.

I am committed to working collaboratively with you to help you become the best version of yourself. I will collaborate with you to help you uncover your unique strengths and how to build a fulfilling life. I believe that with willingness and active participation, all individuals have the potential to learn and apply new behaviors and ways of thinking that lead to desired life changes and growth. I like to focus on and address current symptoms that interfere with living your best life.

I collaboratively work with individuals and families towards personal awareness, healing, and growth. My treatment focuses on processing meaningful life events, underlying dynamics, and accompanying emotions. Utilizing a psychodynamic/existential lens, and implementing dialectical, experiential, and mindfulness based techniques, I attempt to facilitate insight, emotional integration, and movement towards your personal goals. My intention as a therapist is to clear the path that leads to your most realized and developed self.

People come to therapy because they want to feel better.

We can all use an un-biased, confidential person to talk with. Throughout life, everyone experiences periods of stress, grief & sadness, go through breakups, endure family & parental stress, or struggle with pressures at work. Sometimes we may need extra support navigating through, and adjusting to life changes. In therapy, we will work as a team to facilitate your treatment goals with a solution focused approach. We will nurture your emotional & social well-being, increasing personal growth and self-acceptance, while gaining a stronger sense of personal self-worth, life satisfaction, and increasing the ability in maintaining healthy relationships.

Who doesn't need therapy? Therapy is unique. It is a safe space where you can be completely who you are. Within the therapy relationship, you are able to say things that you have bottled up, you are given opportunity to identify your blind spots without judgment or shame, and you are able to attune to what you really want in life. I am a big believer in hearing your own voice, getting in touch with your values, and making decisions that align with what is important to you.
