About

About my practice I work with individuals by providing a safe space where clients can explore and address the issues they’re struggling with. I believe in the importance of developing a therapeutic alliance and work collaboratively to help individuals understand the patterns in their behavior and relationships, find empathy and acceptance of themselves, and develop ways to move toward more fulfillment in their lives. I incorporate an eclectic psychodynamic approach based on client needs, professional experience, and evidence based theories, including family systems, trauma informed therapy, and attachment based therapy. I have over 25 years of experience with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, dysfunctional family dynamics, self esteem issues, attachment disorders, difficulty navigating relationships, and grief. I also have a professional working proficiency of and provide therapy in Spanish.
