Through our relationship pulling from my Queer Latine/x lens, we will discover your core-self and heal of old patterns; I will help you to (re)connect with your life purpose and build an empowered, dynamic life you wish to be living.
Existing can be difficult. Tolerating the pressures of personal and societal histories can leave you feeling stuck; add figuring out meaning and purpose of life, and things get overwhelming. Using a straightforward, interactive style (with plenty of humor) I will assist you in bringing a new understanding to issues from the past that limit and color the present. I create a collaborative space where we make sense of all the unknowns of life; whether you are looking to heal shame, trauma, or heal anxiety or grief, I will help you can make the changes necessary to make living a bit easier and move through life with more grace.

My goal is to develop a safe and secure therapeutic relationship where we can address your challenges, process your traumas, and help you feel better.
Depression. Anxiety. Failing relationships. Trauma. Those words may look intense on the page, but if you are experiencing any of these conditions yourself, you know exactly how devastating they can be for your life, your relationships, and your happiness. If you recognize yourself in any of those words, I want you to know that you're not alone in these struggles…and talking to a therapist can help.

My approach to individual and couple work is consistently client-centered and always focused on empathy and creating lasting change. As a psychoanalyst, I work in an in-depth way that tries to take seriously what might be happening outside of awareness. The people I work with range from those suffering from anxiety, depression, and trauma to those who come in simply for relationship issues or greater self-understanding and growth. As a student/teacher of Relational Psychoanalysis and Attachment Theory, I have extensive experience working with people who struggle to maintain lasting and healthy love relationships.

My approach to counseling is compassion centered, trauma-informed and non-pathologizing. Working together to create a sense of safety and trust is my highest priority. Thus, when we sit together I don’t consider it my job to ‘fix you’ but rather, to be with you. It is in being with you and bringing awareness and kindness to you exactly as you are, that we can begin to create safety in our relationship together and grieve and heal past and present challenges. I aim to help you rediscover an authentic way of being in the world that strengthens your relationship with yourself and others and moves you toward what you most want in life.

I work with young adults and teens experiencing anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, addictive behaviors, trauma, and issues related to identity.
Do you constantly feel like you aren't good enough? If this feeling is getting in the way of your relationships or pursuing a fulfilling & meaningful career, you are not alone. Therapy can help you untangle from unhelpful expectations from childhood and our demanding culture. You may have learned to overwork yourself or perhaps felt that it's not even worth trying. While you may not have chosen these beliefs, they may be getting in your way of living your best life. Learning to recognize and understand the beliefs that may be holding you back will allow you to get unstuck and live more fully and authentically.

With couples who are experiencing a high level of conflict and possibly trying to decide if they should leave the relationship or not, I have used "Structured" separation counseling to help clients to cope with these difficult decisions.
My specialty is working with adolescents to adults. In my practice I integrate several therapeutic methods to achieve your goals... I am also a certified EMDR Therapist. EMDR is a highly effective treatment for people that need deep change, yet do not want to stay stuck with experiencing intense feelings of pain and shame. My client's have found that EMDR has also been a powerful aid in helping them breakthrough addictive feelings/behaviors ( depression, anxiety and behavioral addictions) that keep them in a negative and frustrated mental loop. We end the session with positive protocols that strengthen your objectives.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
