EXPERIENCE

I am a San Francisco-based psychotherapist, with experience helping people understand and manage complex psychological issues, including depression, anxiety and trauma. In addition to these problems, I also have specialized training, interest and experience in:

• Maternal Mental Health

• Relationship Issues

• Adolescent Mental Health

• EMDR therapy

I have worked with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and ages, both in community mental health and private practice settings. 

APPROACH

 My therapeutic approach is collaborative and largely grounded in psychodynamic and relational theory, although the direction of treatment is based on individual needs. I always consider the specific needs and characteristics of each client and adapt treatment accordingly. I believe in empowering the client to become an active participant in his or her treatment, and in creating an environment that feels safe and comfortable.

If you are struggling with uncomfortable feelings or with difficult life situations, therapy might be helpful. My passion is to help people overcome obstacles, move forward and improve their quality of life. I am happy to discuss my approach with you over the phone, so please feel free to contact me for more information.

* I am fluent in both English and Spanish, so sessions can be conducted in either language.

* Hablo Inglés y Español, así que las sesiones pueden ser en cualquiera de los dos idiomas.
