I am a Licensed Individual, Marriage and Family Therapist with over 11 years of experience in the mental health field. In addition, I am a Bilingual/Bicultural Spanish speaking psychotherapist. I work with adults experiencing difficulties ranging from anxiety and depression to relationship difficulties and acculturation issues.

I approach my work with clients from a culturally attuned perspective and create a space for individuals to speak freely about the issues that trouble them in a safe, supportive and contained environment. Together we explore the challenges and come to a deeper understanding that leads to lasting changes.

I practice from a psychodynamic approach. Through building relationships with clients I seek to better understand them as individuals and their experiences. I believe our earliest experiences in life have a lasting impact on who we are today. I support clients in understanding those early relationships and their continued effects. I help clients to connect to what they think and feel. This supports a deeper understanding of who they are and an increased capacity to tolerate difficult/overwhelming emotions. I also incorporate CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) interventions, where appropriate and relevant, when necessary.
