Great to meet you!

I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly, help you develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. I approach therapy with empathy, openness, and the belief that meaningful change begins with feeling safe enough to understand yourself more deeply, explore your past and present experiences, identify recurring emotional and interpersonal patterns, and help you make informed decisions.

I have experience providing psychotherapy to adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, boundary issues, major life transitions, burnout, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. I bring both professional training and life experience to my work, along with genuine curiosity and respect for each person’s individual story. I graduated summa cum laude from Northwestern University and am licensed in Florida. As a bilingual therapist, I value cultural differences and the many ways our backgrounds also shape who we are.


Ofrezco un espacio compasivo y libre de prejuicios. Mi objetivo es ayudarte a desarrollar formas más saludables de relacionarte contigo mismo y con los demás. Abordo la terapia con empatía, y la convicción de que un cambio comienza cuando te sientes comodo como para profundizar en el autoconocimiento, explorar tus experiencias pasadas y presentes, identificar patrones emocionales e interpersonales y tomar entonces, decisiones informadas.

Cuento con experiencia brindando psicoterapia a adultos experimentando ansiedad, depresión, trauma, dificultades en sus relaciones, dificultad para establecer límites, agotamiento (burnout), trastorno bipolar y trastornos de la personalidad. Me gradué con honores en la Universidad Northwestern y cuento con licencia de Florida. Como terapeuta bilingüe, valoro las diferencias culturales y reconozco cómo nuestros orígenes, tambien moldean, en gran medida, quiénes somos.

My approach to therapy

My approach is integrative, relational, and individualized. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, trauma-informed approaches, and cognitive behavioral techniques, adapting therapy to your needs rather than expecting you to fit into one method.

Therapy with me is collaborative. I will listen carefully, ask questions, offer perspective, and sometimes gently challenge patterns that may no longer be helping you. I pay particular attention to relationships, loneliness, self-esteem, boundaries, identity, defenses, personality and the ways we sometimes repeat behaviors without fully understanding why.


Mi enfoque es integrador, relacional e individualizado. Me baso en perspectivas psicodinámicas, centradas en el apego y en el trauma, así como en técnicas cognitivo-conductuales; adapto la terapia a tus necesidades, en lugar de esperar que tú te ajustes a un método predeterminado.

La terapia conmigo es un proceso colaborativo. Te escucharé con atención, te plantearé preguntas, te ofreceré nuevas perspectivas y, en ocasiones, cuestionaré con delicadeza ciertos patrones que quizás ya no te resulten útiles. Presto especial atención a las relaciones, la soledad, la autoestima, los límites, la identidad, los mecanismos de defensa, la personalidad y las formas en que, a veces, repetimos comportamientos sin comprender del todo por qué lo hacemos.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you have been experiencing emotionally, the distress or suffering you are facing, and what you hope to change or better understand. I’ll ask about your history, relationships, and current concerns, and we will begin identifying goals for therapy.

This session is also an opportunity to establish the structure of our therapeutic relationship, including expectations, boundaries, consistency, and the commitment that meaningful therapy requires from both of us. You will have space to ask questions, learn more about my approach, and determine whether you feel comfortable and confident moving forward together.


En nuestra primera sesión, hablaremos sobre los motivos que te han llevado a buscar terapia, tus experiencias emocionales recientes, el malestar o sufrimiento que estás atravesando, y aquello que esperas cambiar o comprender mejor. Te preguntaré sobre tu historia personal, tus relaciones y tus preocupaciones actuales, y comenzaremos a definir los objetivos del proceso terapéutico.

Esta sesión también es una oportunidad para establecer la estructura de nuestra relación terapéutica, lo que incluye las expectativas, los límites, la constancia y el compromiso que una terapia significativa requiere por parte de ambos. Tendrás espacio para plantear preguntas, conocer más sobre mi enfoque y determinar si te sientes a gusto y con la confianza necesaria para continuar este camino juntos.
