Therapy can be a potent means of gaining insight into many individual/family issues. It can provide a safe/non-judgmental environment where one can speak and be heard. Life is ever changing. Therefore, when life changes our natural response is to attempt to maintain control of the situation and sometimes, we get stuck in familiar roles/behaviors that no longer fit our current situation. Therapy work consists of addressing one's thought processes, feelings and behaviors, understanding inner conflicts, finding new/healthier coping skills to deal with and alleviate stress.

Hello, thank you for stopping on my page. In my experience, the process of being in a therapeutic relationship helps create an internal space that promotes self reflection. Which in turn, allows for greater meaning to be felt in life. There are many reasons that prompt us to extend outwards and search for support. I would like to get to know what those might be for you. I invite you to come and experience this work. I speak fluently in English, Spanish and Portuguese. I am also able to work with people in other countries, such as Panama and Brazil where I am a licensed clinical psychologist.

My therapeutic treatment is an individual personalized plan (IPP) that starts by assessing client’s expectations and goals and progresses into a tailor-made treatment. "Starting with The End in Mind", states Covey, S., clients bring to therapy their own narratives to which expect solutions. As we unfold, several plots emerge. With the ultimate client's goal in mind, our sessions take a ride in the client’s journey thru past, present and future. Whereas seizing the present is the key, looking ahead and glancing back at the past gives it a re-significance as the past does live in our present and is strong enough to shape our future.
