It is my belief that every person can benefit from therapy at some point in their life. It can be helpful whether you're working through a specific, short-term problem or changing long-standing patterns of behavior, adjusting to an unexpected life change, gaining clarity about decisions or life goals, increasing self-confidence or self-realization, improving communication, or becoming more effective at regulating difficult emotions.

I work with a wide range of human problems, and enjoy the diversity that my practice has deliberately maintained. I work in an eclectic manner. I think meditation, laughter and play, are great for what ails us.

As a psychoanalyst I believe that an individual's feelings and behaviors are motivated by a variety of unconscious factors often resulting in people feeling stuck. Psychoanalysis helps individuals finally break these habits by understanding their root causes and enable significant changes at the very core of one's emotional responses. Using these experiences, the analyst helps the patient work on a deeply unconscious level to eliminate unproductive and destructive patterns. This opens the patient to new, fresh and genuine experiences and solutions in their lives. This process is achievable through empathy and respect.

People who consider psychotherapy are typically searching not only for specific expertise but also the kind of relationship that will allow them to let their guard down and engage in self-exploration. The best therapy is done when the patient and therapist have a strong working relationship. I truly care about my patients and I work collaboratively with them to help them increase their self-awareness and enhance the quality of their lives. As a bilingual psychologist, I specialize in acculturation and immigration issues, including conducting psychological evaluations for immigration court and criminal defense.

Feeling fully alive is important, yet many of us have learned to numb out because of pain, trauma or shame that we experienced growing up in our families, schools and communities. Or, we had to learn to be "cool" in order to survive in this society. Unfortunately, this armoring can cause us to lose our authenticity and aliveness. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Certified Radix® Body-Centered Personal Growth Practitioner with many years of experience working with individuals and groups to help people heal, love themselves and others more, and live their lives more fully.
