Therapy is a powerful choice of self love and care. Living with unprocessed pain and change can block your clarity and freedom to pursue inner peace, life-giving relationships and living out your true worth and identity. My aspiration in the therapeutic relationship is to be a safe, empowering place to process life honestly. As everyone has physical and financial health, we also have mental, emotional and relational health. Our resources are invested in exterior aspects of our lives, so it is important to make as much, if not more, investment toward the inner self which affects every other area.

My ideal client is a high-performing/high-pressured individual dealing with challenges like change fatigue, burnout, stress, trauma, or secondary trauma. They seek a balance of practical tools and self-insight, looking to manage their emotions while understanding how their thoughts impact their actions. Motivated by personal growth, they want to identify and align their goals with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. Often feeling the pressure of high expectations (self imposed or not), they value a structured yet flexible approach that helps them regain control, find clarity, and thrive both personally and professionally.

I integrate behavioral and psychodynamic principles to illuminate the meaning behind symptoms and elicit growth. It takes two minds to think - so together we'll do that. Compassionately, thoughtfully, playfully. We'll look deeply underneath and beyond what's troubling you, and search together for a more meaningful and engaging way of living. And laugh a little along the way.

I utilize a holistic approach that integrates body awareness and mindfulness techniques, primarily pulling from Psychodynamic Theory and somatic-based interventions.

Being first generation and Mexican-American myself, I value understanding the multifaceted being that is you. I enjoy working with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, codependency, family of origin, grief, and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy is based on an interpersonal/ psychodynamic/family systems theoretical foundation.
Many people struggle with uncertainty in handling new situations or resolving old problems. You may be experiencing difficulties in your relationships with family, friends, bosses and coworkers, or struggling with long-term issues related to difficulty achieving personal goals, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, or other issues. Past ways of dealing with problems may no longer be working and/or have become self-defeating. Please contact me to discuss how psychotherapy might help you make different choices as you deal with current life stresses, or long-standing problems.

Does this sound like you? No matter how hard you try, negative thoughts fill your head, swimming around, taking over your day. You try so hard, but everything you do feels wrong, imperfect, and uncomfortable. Sometimes you may feel full of energy and then crash or become tearful and sad or angry and irritable. Sometimes you may have nightmares or flashbacks or lose time just sitting and thinking. Perhaps you have felt this way and gone through the same behavior patterns your whole life. Or maybe, these feelings are brand new, and you have never felt this way before. For whatever reason, you are seeking help and I am glad you are.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
