I am a clinical psychologist originally from Argentina. I work with adults of all backgrounds who look for support and strategies to create lasting changes in their lives and in their relationships. Many of my patients report symptoms of depression and anxiety related to relationship issues, life transitions, traumatic events, personal crisis or medical trauma. People who enjoy collaborative work grounded in dialogue, moments of insight and encouragement to experiment with new intentions and behaviors, typically tell me they find our sessions helpful and report lower stress and increased connection in relationships.

It’s grueling for anyone considering ending a relationship because they have lost their passion for their partner, are eternally conflicted, or feeling weighed down in their relationship. You might be worried about how your kids will take the news, if you can financially recover, or even second-guessing if divorce is the right move. I am a Certified Gottman Therapist and I use the Gottman’s relationship research to help couples develop friendship, manage conflict, and create a meaningful relationship that lasts a lifetime.

I provide grief counseling to men and women that have a lot in common. Some of these common experiences are that others can't see how badly my clients are hurting on the inside. Does that sound familiar? You might walk through your days with a smile on your face, and achieve success at work or at home. People often even comment on how well you're doing. But no one understands what it's like to cry in private and grieve a loved one so desperately. Sometimes there are not tears to cry when you want to, because the grief stays hidden most days, not feeling free to grieve unless alone.

My clients are individuals who often carry with them unresolved feelings from either their past or present challenges. Viewing those issues from an objective and trusted practitioner is vital to the change process. Always viewing my clients with unconditional positive regard is essential to us being successful. Therapy can often be the first time someone gets to step out of the day to day of their lives. My hope is during this introspection, I can coach you in the direction you need to go, not where my training thinks you should go. While I may illuminate potential paths, you're taking the steps with me right behind you!

Are you feeling sad, anxious, or just not yourself? Do you overthink the past? Worry too much about the future? Reach for quick fixes that don’t work, or do you ignore the problem and tell yourself that, eventually, things will change? Your sad thoughts and anxious feelings zap your energy, and the quick fixes only cause more painful struggles; distancing yourself from the problem only worsens things. There is a reason for your sadness, worry, dependency, and detachment. Reaching out for help is the courageous first step toward finding relief and a solution.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
