Finding meaning in life is the best gift you can give to yourself and those around you. Do you notice lack of motivation, self-sabotaging behaviors, or just feel stuck? Conscious awareness is the foundation for change and where you find the power to choose how to respond to life's challenges. By providing an attuned therapeutic relationship I help my clients develop self-awareness, establish and maintain clear personal goals, and learn to access inner strengths. Life's challenges are gifts that help us grow closer to our true purpose!

I use an integrative psychotherapeutic approach based on trauma resolution that responds effectively to my clients' cognitive, affective, and behavioral functioning, and addresses the spiritual dimension of life as well. I specialize working with individuals, couples, and families.
I offer psychotherapy sessions in English and Spanish. I hold a Psychology Degree from Santa Maria Catholic University, Arequipa-Peru, a Master's Degree in Community Counseling from George Mason University. I'm trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), Emotional Intelligence, and Mindfulness.
