I was originally trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, but I may employ other techniques depending on client's needs.
I am a licensed professional bilingual counselor with 20 years of experience. I ran my private practice in Mexico since 2001 and moved to the US on 2005. I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy to individuals all ages with behavioral and emotional issues. I like to focus on understanding how our past experiences impact our behavior and the way we relate to others in the present. I have additional training in nutritional psychology and integrative medicine for mental health. Integrative medicine is a whole-body approach that refers to a combination of conventional and alternative methods.

I am trained in psychoanalytic therapy, and transcultural psychiatry, with focus on developmental and object relational approaches -relationships with others, and our ties with the world around us.
Loss, failure, and separation are major root causes of many forms of suffering in life. But they are not always evident, we may be too young when live through them, or we may not feel their impact until long after an event. Sometimes they even travel through generations. As a psychotherapist, I have spent over 25 years helping people who suffered from a variety of emotional and relational problems created by one or a combination of these issues, ranging from basic unhappiness to unhealthy relationships, workplace conflicts, divorce and separations, parents struggling with their children, migration and forced separation, even trauma.

I use a psychoanalytic and cognitive-behavioral approach with my clients.
"There are many ways of getting strong, sometimes talking is the best way..." - Andre Agassi ....Individuals from all walks of life, ethnicities, and backgrounds experience feelings of depression, anxiety, frustration, or hopelessness. We sometimes find ourselves unable to communicate the way we would like to or lack the motivation to even try.

As human beings, we behave according to what has worked for us in the past. Such behaviors may not necessarily be healthy or positive ones, and that is what brings you in today. This desire to work and get better at doing life in a more positive and healthier manner. Yes, we may encounter ourselves revolving around unhealthy coping skills and not very strong boundaries with those around us which may be what makes us feel in greater need of connection and positivity in our lives. If there is anything that life has taught us, is that we are capable of change, of rebuilding of shaping ourselves into that person you have always desired.

Anxiety, ADHD, and trauma can have lasting impacts on your child and I want to partner with you and your child to explore their feelings, needs, experiences, and thoughts through play therapy by identifying what's underneath their behavior, providing education, and learning applicable tools.

Psychoanalytic Therapists

Does psychoanalytic therapy work?

Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?

Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?

Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?

Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
