La psicoterapia es un viaje personal que ayuda al individuo a conectarse con si mismo en una forma profunda.

My goal is to help patients learn to be responders and to be in charge of themselves. Throughout treatment, a functional medicine approach is employed. Care collaboration is valued. Patients with cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges benefit from a variety of cognitive behavioral, neurobehavioral, and psychophysiological modalities. Patients with such conditions as emotional and physical trauma, chronic pain, addictions, brain injuries and disorders (autism, Asperger's, ADD/ADHD, motor and balance challenges, for example), sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression are treated. Individuals with neurological, autoimmune, metabolic, endocrinological, and other complex medical conditions find that the treatment modalities promote healing.

I am a psychotherapist licensed in Washington DC and Maryland working with children, adolescents and adults. As a graduate of the Psychoanalytic Studies Program at the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, my approach is psychoanalytically oriented and psychodynamic. I believe that developing a narrative of our experience leads to personal growth and a more fulfilled life. We heal by telling our stories through words, play or symbols, in the context of a caring relationship.

My ideal client is someone who is self-motivated to work through their hindrances with kindness, compassion and commitment. I work alongside clients to develop their awareness of behavioral patterns and use mindfulness-based CBT techniques to redirect repetitive and compulsive thought patterns. I particularly enjoy working with clients heal and recover from narcissistic abuse, which is rampant in our day and age.

My approach to therapy is to partner with you and your family to create an individualized and goal-directed treatment plan. I can help you uncover your strengths and use the skills you already have to make lasting changes. You will experience a warm, genuine, playful, and humorous treatment approach.

I place great importance on creating a non-judgmental atmosphere where the person that I am seeing can talk comfortably about their difficulties without fear of stigma or criticism. My approach is one of discovering the links between past and present relationship patterns, and using these insights to foster change and growth. After over thirty years in the field, I believe that I have developed the ability to understand a situation quickly, and to communicate recommendations in an empathic and sensitive manner. I am able to work in brief psychotherapy, and wish to provide genuine help as quickly as possible.

My work is focused on bicultural and bilingual couples and families as well as individual who want to integrate and explore what it means to live as an individual in two cultures.

You want to experience a meaningful and fulfilled life but instead you feel: Exhausted and depleted, paralyzed about anxiety and feeling uncertain about what is next, struggling to adjust to a new place, to a new life. Trying to figure out who you are by looking into "supposed to be"? Experiencing a different culture and trying to integrate with who "you have been"? On the outside, you seem to have things “under control” but deep inside you experience negative self-talk regularly.

Do you feel like your anxiety is out of control? Do you struggle with unwanted thoughts or compulsive behaviors? You have tried to change but your anxiety keeps getting stronger and you find yourself giving in more and more to your anxiety. You feel compelled to act on your habits and rituals even though you know they are not good for you. It's affecting other areas of your life. You don't want anyone to find out so you do not know who to turn to for help.
