Finding the right therapist, where you feel a sense of connection, is the first step in a successful treatment. Whether you are unsettled, experiencing a life transition, or briefly needing a professional to speak with, together, we will look at what is difficult and what you would like to change. This is a unique opportunity to see what has stood in the way of your personal satisfaction. Our work is confidential and I am non-judgmental. Most people who start psychotherapy find it very useful and gain valuable insights which help them fulfill their potential and enrich their lives.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for adults and couples who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep difficulty, relationship issues, job stress, health issues or other life stressors. I work collaboratively with my clients to help identify the changes they would like to see in their lives and set short-term therapy goals to help achieve them. I specialize primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and include Mindfulness and breathing relaxation strategies in my practice. I tailor therapy to meet my client's individual needs.

As a licensed clinical social worker and private psychotherapist, I am interested in supporting individuals, couples, and families coping with such issues as anxiety, depression, infertility, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have extensive experience working with those facing chronic illness, end-of-life- challenges, and bereavement and have completed advanced clinical training in family therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family. I take a client-centered, relational approach and strive to create a safe, warm, and supportive space for joint exploration, in which clients can feel comfortable exploring and addressing their thoughts and challenges.

Life is constantly throwing change at us and we must learn to navigate and adjust. With your insight and willingness to be vulnerable you can gain awareness of what may be distorted thinking, their underlying causes and work through the challenges of changing what no longer serves you. Therapy can also help to empower you by helping to recognize what choices are in front of oneself. I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals to learn how to better manage anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues as well as perinatal obstacles.

I am a clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy. In addition to my training as a social worker, I am fluent in Spanish, having spent two years in El Salvador back in the sixties, and work with Spanish-speaking as well as English-speaking individuals and families. I accept referrals from immigration attorneys. I evaluate families where a member of the family is seeking to become a permanent resident of the United States. I write reports to be submitted to Immigration Court.

Life is hard. Relationships are messy. Trauma from the past may live within us, and trauma from the present is all around us. You deserve a compassionate space for processing these realities and learning new skills to repair and deepen your important relationships and live a better life. In my 20 years of providing therapy, I have witnessed and been inspired by the overcoming of great suffering and the transformation of people’s relationships to themselves and others. I am grateful to have supported them in their process and welcome the opportunity to be a part of your story of self-discovery, healing, and growth.

As a Counselor Educator/Counseling Psychologist I believe that everyone possesses strengths and has the capacity to learn and achieve happiness. However, when negative beliefs about one's self and/or others show up they can lead to interference in one's ability to manage relationships, school, career, etc. This can lead to feelings of self-doubt, confusion, hopelessness, anxiety and depression. Counseling is a process that can help you get on track to where you want to be.

I listen empathically to help my patients develop self-compassion and awareness so they can develop acceptance and create change. I see my role as listener, supporter, and guide into the internal world. My job is to thoughtfully explore with you, this unknown terrain and come to know the resources, resiliency, and best self that already exists. I also believe that life is not all rainbows and unicorns. There are many up and downs. The question is how we get through them. We must explore all aspects of life to fully engage and fulfill our greatest potentials.

Change is hard. If it was easy to make the changes you want in your life, I believe you would have made them already. My approach to psychotherapy centers on non-judgmental acceptance, validation, and exploration. I work to help you increase your self-understanding, confidence, self-compassion, and ability to enact change in your own life. The work is also focused on alleviating anxiety, depression, irritability, low self-image, and relationship challenges. I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor our work together so that each encounter is based on your needs and preferences.

I view my therapeutic role as a partnership in which I listen carefully and guide the conversation so that I can "hear" underlying themes and connections I can then share with the client as we work toward resolving their difficulties. In providing information related to the client's concerns, my work is still psychodynamically informed. This is especially important for clients interested in learning about themselves and their relationships in a new way (their feelings, anxiety, causes of symptoms, or errors in judgment) in order to free themselves from the misunderstandings, confusion, and emotional "clutter" holding them back.

If you're feeling down, anxious, or overwhelmed, it may be because managing the day-to-day minutiae of our busy schedules often leaves little space to register our emotional experiences until they hit a fever pitch. Although many of us adapt by pushing the pain into the background much of the time, these hidden disappointments, hurts, and resentments don't disappear; they grow and can fester. Creating a safe place to process this pain is vital, and can free us to realize and accomplish our goals.

My work is dedicated to helping individuals heal from challenging life events and relationships in order to live a more fulfilled and balanced life. My work integrates traditional psychotherapy with mind-body modalities. The approach of "Holistic Psychotherapy" which includes EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Gestalt and mindfulness allows us to heal from the past and resolve current life challenges.
