About
We are convinced we have a problem. We're focused on it, worried about it, and it often feels like it defines us. These problems tend to show up or worsen during life and relationship transitions. Attending to what isn't working, as well as being intentional about addressing these problems, is necessary for change. Easily overlooked though, are the jewels - the opportunities hiding behind those problems. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for growth opportunities - offering compassion to those parts of ourselves we don't like or shame us, while allowing for the fluidity, flexibility and movement required for transformations. I draw from psychodynamic and attachment theories, interpersonal, humanistic and existential schools, as well as neurobiology. Steven Gilligan's Self-Relations approach figures prominently in my work. Cognitive-behavioral, emotionally focused, narrative and somatic therapy offer helpful tools, as do sex therapy and hypnosis. Creativity is central in psychotherapy. I am bilingual and bi-cultural, with over 20 years experience in working with Latino populations.
