I believe people are inherently good, and much of the pain we carry, along with the patterns that keep us stuck, come from losing connection to that truth. My approach is grounded in attachment theory and the understanding that healing happens in the context of safe, connected relationships. I offer a warm, compassionate, affirming space where your pain is honored, your story is heard, and you don’t have to navigate your healing alone. Together, we’ll gently explore what no longer serves you and reconnect you to the most resilient, authentic version of yourself.

My ideal client is thoughtful, emotionally aware, and quietly overwhelmed. They often appear high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel restless, tense, or disconnected. They may be outgrowing friendships, family dynamics, or romantic patterns that once made sense, and now find themselves questioning their reactions, boundaries, and sense of self. They don’t feel broken; they feel misaligned, and tired of carrying emotional weight that no longer feels like theirs.

I care deeply and believe people can adapt to their life circumstances if given the necessary tools. It is not for lack of will but for lack of skill that people are not thriving. Therefore, my focus in therapy is to equip and empower individuals, couples and families to achieve healing.

Therapy has as its fulcrum a secure, connected, trustworthy relationship. Within this safe zone there is opportunity for discovery, healing, questioning, empowerment, questioning, and goal-setting. I see therapy as an open-ended, yet purposeful opportunity for all of these, and more. I strive to help clients explore and expand their sense of themselves, and to live and relate authentically, both in relationships and in vocation. I have a gentle, affirmative clinical presence, at points serene and curious, at others interactive, with humor as an adjunct.

In my practice, I specialize in relationships and sexuality. Work with me is experiential, engaged, and playful. I see weekly clients and also work in extended, multi-hour or day formats to support lasting change to an individual or relationship’s patterns in a shorter period of time. Common areas of focus include: improving intimacy and eroticism, navigating relationship impasses, healing betrayals and sexual traumas, kink, restructuring relationships (i.e. non-monogamy, uncoupling), navigating medical and bodily changes, erectile or pelvic floor concerns, and exploring identities: sexual, erotic, relationship, gender.

People often seek out therapy when they are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. These feelings may cause symptoms of anxiety, depression, difficulty managing anger, or dependance on food or substances to cope. As a therapist I enjoy creating a relationship that is warm, consistent, and safe to explore difficult feelings or experiences while figuring out what symptoms like anxiety, or depression are trying to tell us. Having someone who is curious about the way you think and feel can be truly transformative. This process can lead to the rediscovery of your own innate constructive forces, bringing relief and much needed change.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
