Greetings,  I am a bilingual and bi-cultural (English and Spanish) psychologist with more than 20 years of experience in providing psychological services. My main focus when doing psychotherapy is helping to clear the emotional obstacles that may be hindering or impairing your self-growth and psychological well-being. I will first sit down with you and find out what may be causing you distress or be obstructing your growth. The next step would be to co-create a therapy plan that is tailored for you.

Do you feel anxious and fearful about the future, especially with current events weighing heavily on your mind? Are you feeling neglected or unheard, as though your values and well-being are being overlooked in times of change? It's common to feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or even powerless when faced with uncertainties that seem beyond our control. I am here to provide a space where you can process these emotions and develop strategies to find peace amidst the noise. I work with professional women who are experiencing high-functioning anxiety, struggling with fears tied to societal shifts, and grappling with a sense of isolation.

Life is definitely a journey filled with emotions that takes us down different paths. At times, the pathways are filled with light, and on the contrary can be filled with darkness. It is during troubled times that we may experience all kinds of emotions that we may not understand. Although the journey for everyone may be different, our experiences stem from similar scenarios.

Going through life with all of our day to day occurrences plus the unexpected ones can cause our vision to become clouded. We've all been there- I've been there. You don't have to sort it out on your own. Sometimes your child or teen's challenges are due to circumstances we had no control over like traumas or other events and sometimes it is due to issues within our families and each issue impacts an individual differently- this is why restoring and managing relationships is often a focus of therapy. I can understand that desire for a renewed mind; free from the stress and worry of the world, to be able to live in peace and order.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
