Therapy can be an important aid in managing transitions, stresses, and crises. It can also provide a safe and supportive context to address longstanding struggles with depression, anxiety, or other concerns. I am a psychodynamically trained therapist who also utilizes cognitive behavioral and relational approaches. My clients describe me as attentive, supportive, and non judgemental. I view therapy as a collaboration between myself with my professional skills and training, and you with your knowledge of yourself and your desire for support and change. I am an authentic, active therapist who approaches therapy gently and directly.

Have you been feeling sad, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Does the stressor of life seem too much to manage? Or do you just need a safe, confidential space to process life experiences? This is very common, and many individuals have similar thoughts at some point in their life. However, there is no need to struggle alone. Reaching out for help is the first step to healing. We can work together in exploring thinking patterns, emotions, and actions that can help you view the world in a more positive light and start feeling better.

Do you not have enough satisfaction in your life? Do you wish you were in a relationship? Are you struggling with the one you are in? Do you wish for a better career? Talking in a therapeutic environment helps people take more control of their lives, allowing them to experience a quality of life that was otherwise impossible. It is rewarding to see this type of change take place with my clients.

In today's world, which is advancing at an unreachable pace, we are being invaded by information, experiences and news difficult to assimilate. In turn, bewildered in a new questioning of values that seemed to be our guide, and pushed to learn new ways of relating, we all suffer from a certain level of stress and in some cases even depression. I am psychoanalytically trained and committed to generate the environment for you to find yourself safe and comfortable to talk about everything you need. Bi Lingual-Cultural (Espanol/English)

When beginning psychotherapy, individuals often feel vulnerable and in need of a safe space in which to examine their struggles and work towards healing. With over 30 years of experience, and as a Harvard-trained psychologist, I provide such a space. I work with empathy, intellect, and humor to help clients address such diverse concerns as life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories, and I use CBT and mindfulness techniques where appropriate to help clients understand themselves, achieve their goals, and find satisfaction in their lives.
