Eres independiente, motivada y exitosa (aunque no siempre te sientes así), pero te sientes aislada en el entorno acelerado de Nueva York. Es como si todo lo que hiciera fuera pasar de un factor estresante al siguiente. Además, encontrar una terapeuta es completamente abrumador: ¡hay tantos perfiles! Pero te aseguro que iniciar el proceso terapéutico puede ayudarte a avanzar hacia una vida plena y significativa. Juntos desarrollaremos un espacio terapéutico sin prejuicios, aumentaremos su curiosidad y encontraremos nuevas formas de enfrentar los desafíos de la vida y lograremos sus metas.

Has estado posponiendo la terapia durante meses, pero es un año nuevo y estás decidido a mejorar tu bienestar emocional. Tal vez estás en un momento de tu vida donde sientes insatisfacción o frustración porque muchas cosas no están funcionando como te gustaría. Es posible que hayas experimentado un gran contratiempo o evento traumático que cambio tu vida. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los que te rodean piensan que eres exitoso, ambicioso, y confiable. Pero en tu interior nunca te sientes satisfecho contigo mismo, y la voz en tu mente no para de recordarte de todas las maneras en las que estás fracasando.

I have post graduate training in family therapy from the Ackerman Institute for the Family.
Therapy provides a safe space to explore core issues. Many times, generational and environmental factors complicate daily life struggles. Providing a warm and empathetic environment helps people understand themselves and their situations in a new way which fosters greater self-awareness and helps to build new narratives that can lead to positive outcomes. I am a bi-lingual (Spanish), solution-focused social worker who has experience working with children, adolescents and adults utilizing individual, couple and family therapy modalities in a range of settings. I have a solid foundation for helping diverse clients achieve their goals.

Some are questioning how to best be in connection with those they care about and looking for ways out of repeated negative cycles. Others are simply hoping to be supported and witnessed as they navigate life's many pains and joys. My greatest professional hope is that I can provide both.

I'm a psychologist who works with children, adolescents and adults, specializing in loss, trauma and family issues, in English and Spanish. I use integrative, strengths and evidenced-based therapy. I believe that humans are inherently wired for resilience. In particular contexts, our once healthy coping skills may prevent us from returning to our adaptive core. In therapy, I urge patients to learn to experience and tolerate emotions, access instinctive coping capacities and build a flexible mindset. This method allows patients to uncover strengths, and deepen their sense of hope, leading lives filled with vitality and exuberance.

When facing life's difficult challenges, it is good to know that there are places that you can turn to for help and guidance. However, finding a gay therapist can be anxiety producing because when people decide they would benefit from seeing a therapist, they are often experiencing significant upset in their lives. This is usually not the ideal moment to be dealing with the stress involved in finding someone with whom it feels safe and right to be vulnerable.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
