About My Clients

My clients seek to improve emotional connections and empathy, as well as their experience of sex and sexuality. I am clinically trained to work with a wide range of clients and issues, in both English and Spanish. I typically work with individuals, couples, and therapists struggling with relationship issues, sex/sexuality, intimacy, anxiety and depression, life transitions, and family of origin matters.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic style is systemic, psychodynamic, attachment based, empathetic and at times directive. I am able to practice psychotherapy in both in English and Spanish. I view therapy as an opportunity for you to be able to express what you have not been able to, in your day to day life. I know reaching out can be scary, but with time, my hope is that we are able to grow a trusting and warm relationship, that allows space for you to fully express who you are.
