About My Clients
My work with couples focuses on communication skills, conflict resolution, rebuilding after infidelity, emotional disconnection, and navigating major life transitions together. I also provide premarital counseling for engaged couples who want to enter marriage with clarity, alignment, and practical tools to create a strong foundation. Using evidence-based approaches such as Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help partners become more accessible and responsive.
My Background and Approach
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the state of Ohio with over a decade of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional, relational, and life challenges. My clinical background integrates medical, psychiatric, and relational perspectives, allowing me to offer therapy that is both compassionate and deeply informed. I earned my MD degree and specialized in Psychiatry in Mexico, followed by a research fellowship in Mood Disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder) in the Department of Psychiatry at the Mayo Clinic. I am committed to lifelong learning and continuously refine my skills to provide thoughtful, ethical, and high-quality care. As a multicultural and bilingual therapist, I provide therapy in English and Spanish and work with both adults and adolescents.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am committed to providing an inclusive, affirming, and emotionally safe therapeutic space where individuals, couples, and families feel respected, supported, and genuinely seen. My practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful healing happens when people feel safe to show up as their full, authentic selves. In my work, I strive to foster an environment rooted in compassion, dignity, and connection, where clients are free to explore their identities, relationships, and emotional needs without fear of judgment or marginalization. I welcome and affirm people of all backgrounds, including diverse religious or non-religious identities, races, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, neurodiversity, mental health experiences, physical differences, and abilities. At the core of my approach is a deep respect for our shared human need for connection, belonging, and secure attachment.
