About My Clients

I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma or alcohol or substance use disorder. In working together, we will use a directed approach to your issues, with a focus on new, more effective choices. Most of my clients will see and feel improvements in the first month of therapy.

My Background and Approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in my practice. We will start by looking at what brought you to therapy, what issues you wish to manage, and look at how your thought process affects your feelings and experience. You will learn how to create better boundaries, to push back on those thoughts which bring you into the dark, and to create effective change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a Latino Jewish woman, committed to equality and fairness, and I support social justice causes, such as racial equality, pay equity and support for environmental and climate change issues.
