Great to meet you!

I work with adults, especially those healing from childhood trauma and seeking support in English or Spanish, who are ready to feel better and begin making sense of their experiences. As a bilingual, board-certified psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience, I help you understand how past experiences are impacting your thoughts, emotions, and relationships so you can feel more grounded, clear, and in control.

Trabajo con adultos, especialmente quienes están sanando de traumas de la infancia y buscan apoyo en español o inglés y que están listos para sentirse mejor y empezar a comprender lo que han vivido. Como psicoterapeuta bilingüe certificada, con más de 20 años de experiencia, te ayudo a entender cómo las experiencias del pasado influyen en tus pensamientos, emociones y relaciones para que te sientas más en control, con claridad y estabilidad emocional.

My approach to therapy

My approach is structured, collaborative, and tailored to your goals. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Written Exposure Therapy (WET). I focus on reducing distress, building coping skills, and processing what’s keeping you stuck.

Mi enfoque es estructurado, colaborativo y adaptado a tus objetivos. Integro terapia psicodinámica con enfoques basados en evidencia, incluyendo Terapia Cognitiva Conductual (CBT), Terapia dialéctica conductual (DBT) y Terapia de Exposición Escrita (WET). Trabajo en reducir el malestar, desarrollar herramientas de afrontamiento y procesar lo que te mantiene estancado(a).
