I am an extensively published, world-travelled expert on trauma and chronic illness. I conduct therapy in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German, and Dutch. For the past 25 years, I have been assisting individuals with ADHD/behavioral challenges, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, bipolar disorder, and physical illness. My clients range in age from 3 to 103. Early in my career, I developed a support group curriculum for AIDS orphans now available in 35 countries.

Life would be so much easier without uncomfortable feelings, painful experiences, and inner turmoil, but here we are. As humans, we are the universe getting to know itself, in all our joy and pain. In my practice, I aim to accompany you, using a trauma-informed lens and psychoanalytic approach to explore your unconscious, on your journey inward. I believe each of us has so much to learn and teach from our experiences and perspectives if we can give ourselves the space and self-compassion to process them.

Are you looking for Psychological Reports for Immigrants? You are in the right place. I specialized in writing psychological Reports for the past 30+ years. Graduated from NYU. I work with many lawyers around the United States. Born in Brazil, I have lived in the United States for 30 years. Experiences of immigration, exile, and displacement bring on emotional and social challenges that can be overwhelming. My professional and personal knowledge of multinational identity makes me especially sensitive to issues of cultural selfhood and adjustment.

Do you feel frustrated and stuck? Wondering if you are on the right track? Do you want change but don't know what kind of change or how to get there? Are you going through a life transition? Do you question wether your life can have more meaning? Or maybe you find yourself repeating the same pattern over and over and don’t know how to change it? I am here to help and support you. I will work with you to find your own inner resources, heal and integrate past experiences, feel more comfortable in your own skin and at home in the world, and experience more joy, peace and meaning in your life and relationships.

Your life is meant to be exciting and fulfilling. At Clarity Therapy, our passion and purpose is helping individuals reconnect to themselves and their true purpose.

Together we can help you confront and overcome whatever issue you’re currently facing. Additionally, we demystify the process of therapy and do our best to ensure you’re taken care of each step of the way.

Many of my clients come to see me out of frustration with their personal relationships or work roles. Such frustration can manifest in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and negative coping. I provide a supportive, yet challenging environment that fosters emotional well-being, new insights, and change. With a positive approach that focuses on individual and contextual strengths, my goal is to help clients develop the self-awareness, self-confidence, and skills necessary to overcome perceived obstacles and improve their relationships and work satisfaction.

As a Latina immigrant and queer woman of color, I use a social justice-focused, anti-oppression approach to promote an affirming environment where clients can reconnect with their strengths and lineages. I work with clients on healing life experiences in the context of intergenerational trauma and systems of oppression. I specialize in working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients, immigrants and children of immigrants, people with mixed racial or cultural backgrounds, and clients of all identities interested in working to end oppression.
