Are you in emotional distress and feeling alone with these feelings? I specialize in forging close, interactive relationships with my clients to help you ease your suffering and begin taking the necessary steps in achieving personal fulfillment and to begin the process of eliminating DIS-EASE...

What is Your Third Pillar? It is what you do for yourself that makes you feel proud. Not to be confused with the Second Pillar (To Produce), or the First Pillar (To Protect), your 3rd Pillar is a higher-level avocation that has a symbolic, powerful meaning to you. When engaged in your 3rd Pillar, you feel intense and yet calm. You feel a sense of growth and achievement. You are, in practice, Your Real Self.

I am a clinical psychologist who primarily uses Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I work with clients of all ages-- I completed my doctoral training with a specialty in working with children and families, but I enjoy working with adults equally.

I am a licensed bilingual (English-Spanish speaking) psychotherapist with 20 years clinical experience working with adolescents, families, adults, seniors, & couples- diagnosing and treating behavioral health conditions. I'm an NASW member since 1997 & Board Certified since 2002. My theoretical orientation is eclectic- encompassing systems & cognitive behavioral theories, brief therapy & solution-focused principles.

My therapeutic approach includes creating an environment where one can feel safe to freely express needs and desires without fear, shame or guilt. Often, a byproduct of this process is to become more comfortable and accepting of yourself. Clarity and confidence are newly discovered benefits of the therapy experience. My 25 years of experience provides me with the professional skills to assess and diagnose an individual. I set reachable goals and identify under-lying psychological barriers that can interfere with reaching your potential. My experience enables me to examine the complexities of unconscious habits.

You may be visiting out of curiosity, but more likely, you're here because you're troubled. You may be WORRIED about your temper and how it puts your job or marriage at risk. Or DISCOURAGED by a painful loss or breakup. Or STRESSED by the demands of daily life. Whatever led you here, you CAN shape your life more to your liking and move confidently toward what matters to you.

I provide a relaxed and non-judgmental environment in which to focus on understanding the issues you are having and to map out an effective path to change. My approach is based on specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety and other psychological issues experienced by adults and adolescents. I also have expertise as a clinical health psychologist and have worked in outpatient and hospital settings with families, patients and healthcare teams to improve coping with and management of chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and HIV/AIDS.

I have expertise in treating anxiety, mood and OCD disorders (trichotillomania, BDD, skin picking). I use cognitive behavioral methods that have been shown to be effective in specific problem areas and tailor them to particular patients. My treatment philosophy is one that combines humanistic values and CBT interventions.

I have been in practice for many years and have been involved in the training of psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers. I have come to believe that each person is unique and that the therapy has to be tailored accordingly. In fact, the art of relating deeply depends on the ability to be able to understand the other' personality in its’ own right and to be able to respond to their individuality with a great deal of acceptance and warmth. The establishment of a good therapeutic relationship is one of the keys to achieving a positive outcome.

Are you a 20 or 30 something looking to make sense of the confusing changes life so often throws our way? Like a musician, I'll teach you how to 'read the 'chord changes' of your life story to create more interesting music.

Similarly, I love showing non-artists how their psychological work can increase and open up creativity they didn't realize was right in front of them!

My role as a therapist is not to provide answers, but to help guide you towards your own solutions. I believe I have a down to earth personality with a clinically-appropriate sense of humor. I have helped clients suffering from grief and loss, substance abuse and anxiety-related issues. The loss of someone we love is one of the hardest things we encounter in our lives, in my opinion. How people experience grief and loss is different for everyone. There is no right or wrong. Having a safe place to talk about this experience doesn't make the hurt go away, but it does help with moving forward.
