About My Clients

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you increase self- awareness to get your life back in an improving and transformative way. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first months and sustained improvement thereafter.

My Background and Approach

I help adult individuals suffering from mood disorders; immigrants facing acculturation issues, women facing life challenges or changes, individuals experiencing identity conflicts. I offer an in-depth insightful and spiritual approach within a direct, empowering, empathic, and open minded style. I bring into the session 35 years of clinical experience within a psychodynamic model. Bicultural & Bilingual: Spanish/English. I offer therapy sessions in-person, or online via zoom. I'm available most weekdays and in the evenings and I accept BCBS/PPO, CIGNA, and AETNA.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I see the potential in every one. I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. I believe you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. That is my goal in our therapeutic journey together.
