My psychotherapy interests include depression, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, chronic illness, coping skills, grief and bereavement, stress, trauma, and PTSD.

Sometimes, we may find ourselves facing life experiences which bring us suffering and we have not enough answers. We might feel strange, anxious, sad, worried with symptoms of emotional pain. On these moments, a therapist assistance would provide a safe, healthy environment to work on those issues. The therapy environment aims at allowing you the possibility to access to the root of difficulties rather than looking at exterior manifestations During our sessions, I will not judge either your past or present choices. My private practice includes services in Spanish (my mother tongue) providing brief and long-term treatment.

It could be that you are struggling with depression, easily overcome by stress and anxiety or experiencing difficulties in your personal/family relationships.

Feeling alone? I would love to support you with therapy personalized to you and your unique needs. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, the world, our family and friends. We don't know what to do about it and it can make us feel utterly alone. Together we can find a path forward so you can move more easily and authentically through life. I work with people experiencing struggles like self-doubt, loneliness, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, emotional dysregulation and difficulties in relationships or new stages of life.
