I specialize in the treatment of Trauma, PTSD and Developmental trauma.
I am a Latinx bilingual licensed psychologist dedicated to supporting people from diverse cultural and economic background as they cultivate their own resilience building practices. I use my experience working with patients to determine how to best facilitate the development of a healthy mind/body. The human psyche is beautifully complicated. It can create for us moments of exhilarating joy and excruciating pain. The key to maximize joy and minimize pain is very different for each individual. It is important to have a wide range of resilience building practices to draw from in order to create individualized self-care plans.

Using an integrated approach of psychodynamic psychotherapy, strength based therapy, CBT and family work, I have had success in treating adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, issues related to trauma, grief, issues with identity, self harming behaviors and family conflict.
I provide a Client Centered, Action Oriented, Humanistic approach to supporting adolescents and young adults through challenges that can arise during this developmental stage. With over 25 years of experience working with youth in various settings, I have come to understand the importance of creating a safe space where youth can explore and process their feelings, gain the skills necessary to cope with adversity, and articulate their hopes and dreams; becoming strong, resilient young men and women; ready and able to reach their fullest potentials. It is my hope to witness this growth in every child I work with.
