I’m a psychoanalyst. That means I practice highly individualized talk therapy focused on personal growth. I work primarily with people in their 20s through 50s who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship problems. I trained at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies, where I gained practical experience working therapeutically with people from all walks of life.

It's very difficult to be in stressful situations that can cause lots of anxiety and self-doubt. Perhaps you're looking for something more than advice from family and friends. If you're looking for a warm and inviting counseling atmosphere, I am eager to work with you to develop effective coping skills and a greater self-awareness to reach your full potential. Together, you and I can work to set goals that are appropriate and attainable for you, at your pace. For therapy to be effective for you, I work hard to build genuine and long lasting trust.


I have experience working with clients who have suffered from anxiety, depression, and marital issues. Additionally, I believe that cultural factors are critical to the way we navigate through life. I work hard to address cultural matters, to understand how these may impact our perception of the world.


Call me for a free consultation where we can discuss your needs and goals. For your convenience, I offer online counseling. También, ofrezco servicios en español. Llamame para discutir tus metas.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that an empathic approach creates an environment, in which, trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between psychotherapist and patient constitutes an important tool, in the understanding of patient's past and present behaviors.

I have had the privilege of working as an individual and group therapist in numerous therapeutic settings. These experiences have allowed me to utilize various treatment modalities in order to empower the individuals I work with.

I recognize that everyone’s experiences are unique and personal. My approach is tailored to fit an individual's specific needs. It is my goal to provide you with a safe and supportive environment to help you identify, explore, and address what thoughts and behaviors may be interfering with living a balanced life. Through our work together, you will learn helpful tools and insights that will provide a sense of well-being that can help you achieve your personal goals in treatment.

I aim to empower you, provide you with useful strategies for success, and ultimately assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and what may be holding you back from reaching your individualized happiness. As we work together, you'll never have to feel alone on your journey to self-improvement and personal insight.

I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.

I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.
