Disponibles en inglés y español. A través de mis propias experiencias de vida y las compartidas con otras, he llegado a conocer muchas perspectivas en el mundo. Detrás de la riqueza y las características únicas de cada cultura (racial, étnica, familiar y todos los matices de lo que nos define), he aprendido que existe un anhelo común: no solo vivir sino prosperar en la vida; dar y recibir; tener un propósito y saberlo. Los desafíos son un hecho a lo largo del viaje de la vida. Buscar ayuda no lo hace débil a uno, sino al contrario: en algún nivel indica que uno está dispuesto y es capaz de crecer y, según sea necesario, de cambiar.

Relational Life Therapist. Cross cultural therapist. I help couples (and other dyads) get to the source of their issues and learn how to create the relationship they long for. Some dyads that see me may be on the brink of relationship rupture and dissolution. Some may be stuck having the same arguments with the same lack of progress and feel like Sisyphus with his boulder. Some may be ahead of the game and seek therapy before they ruin a good thing. All of them want to learn healthy relationship habits that stick. The individual clients I see often struggle with spiritual questions, self acceptance, and/or relationships.

The heart of my practice is developing a safe, warm, and trusting therapeutic relationship. I offer a strength-based approach while meeting the needs and preferences of each client.

I am a strong believer in the power of collaboration and connection and hope to offer you a space where we will work together using your strengths to achieve your social, emotional, behavioral and therapeutic goals.

Every one of us has endured pain in our lives. Those events can affect our sense of inner security and the ability to mobilize our strengths. Whatever your history may be, transforming the way your mind, body and soul remember the pain, will put you on the path of more freedom to be your preferred self, and experience your relationships and your life to the fullest. Therapy could be that safe space where you can envision a desired life and future for yourself, breathe new hope and possibilities, and develop effective coping strategies that can be carried out outside our sessions.

As a systemically trained and culturally attuned couples and family therapist, I recognize the impact of our relationships—with loved ones, ourselves, and our broader context— in leading a meaningful life. I will help you identify and change painful patterns that hold you back. And because I believe that therapy is most successful when approached as a collaboration between client and therapist, together we will attend to your relational, self and cultural contexts in order to co-construct wished-for outcomes, find desired meanings and develop expanded perspectives to pressing issues in your life.

My practice is dedicated to helping clients deepen their capacity for self awareness and personal agency. As part of our work together I help clients explore and develop insight into unconscious processes, repetitive patterns of behavior, and relational difficulties to understand what gets in the way of living meaningfully and authentically while reaching desired goals. Drawing from psychoanalytic, relational, and mindfulness approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to facilitate a safe therapeutic space conducive to increased intimacy, curiosity, and creativity while building on strengths derived from their unique life experiences.

I have been most effective in working with individuals who feel that their relationship struggles, mood issues, anxiety and/or trauma are holding them back from living the life they want to live. I work collaboratively to establish a treatment plan that is unique and tailored to each individual.

In my experience this is what leads to both symptom relief in the short term as well as deep long lasting change.

You experience enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving and interpersonal relationships as significant sources of problems and emotional pain. Pieces of your identity – gender, sexuality, spirituality, ethnicity – seem inherently conflicted. You walk the world with unique gifts and deep sensibilities, yet in times of distress, you find yourself fleeing, fighting, appeasing, or beating yourself up. You've searched far and wide for a therapist who specializes in people with exactly your problem and met nothing but disappointment. The truth is that there is no person with exactly your problem, but you don't have to be alone.
