I am a licensed clinical psychologist working with couples and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and painful family dynamics.

I am bilingual and can provide services in Spanish and English.

Starting the therapeutic process can feel overwhelming & daunting. Finding the right fit takes time and effort, with the possibility of disappointment. With so much uncertainty the process can feel frustrating & hopeless ,but taking the first step to meet with a clinician to have a conversation and get a sense of their personality and clinical style can alleviate the anxiety behind the unknown & endless "what if " questions you may have. Some issues I have been able to help clients with are: relationship problems, anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, developing healthy coping strategies, & overcoming past trauma(s).

Have you felt stuck in a pattern of self-defeating or unhelpful behaviors or relationships? Are you wondering why that is, and how you can go about changing it once and for all? I believe that a deeper understanding of yourself leads to meaningful life changes, and I will be your partner in this transformation. My work is steeped in psychodynamic tradition, although I also incorporate elements of other approaches when clinically appropriate.

There are many seasons of life that can have you feeling hopeless, downtrodden, and burnt out. Seeking therapy and professional help can be life changing and the beacon of hope you need in the darkness. My goal in working with my clients is to be the person that creates that feeling of hope that’s been lost along the way. I also work to encourage and empower my clients and show them that they can regain control of their lives; that not only are they capable, they are the experts of their lives. Overall, I want my clients to establish healthy habits and boundaries in their lives that will in turn help them thrive in all areas.

Most people solve most problems on their own or with help from friends, but that doesn’t always work. Troubles mount up. Upheavals catch you unawares. “Go to” solutions can leave you empty-handed. Even planned changes can be disorienting - new jobs, retirement, new relationships, going off to school, children leaving home. Sometimes people just need help coping, changing bad habits, or thinking through options. Other times people feel hemmed in by circumstances, or find they don’t recognize themselves in the life they lead and want to deepen their sense that the life they are living reflects their own values and choices.

I believe that developing a therapeutic relationship with my clients is most improtant. I provide active lisetning with a therapeutic ear, and will reflect your story back to you and help you to see yourself in a different light. Together we will work on identifying goals and use a variety of modalities to help you reach them.

Find yourself through the experience of therapy. Are you curious about how you participate in stopping yourself from being your own dynamic, vital self?

Life is never without challenges, and in today's modern living, we are often left juggling chronic stress and problems in multiple areas of life.
