Fluent in both English and Spanish, I offer in-person and telehealth psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults. This includes individual, family and group services. I also offer select psychological evaluation services for immigration cases.
Areas of specialization include management of trauma, stress and anxiety, depression, ADHD, and women's psychology. My treatment methods primarily rely on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT), while increasingly incorporating EMDR as needed. I also offer parenting consultation services and play therapy when needed for younger clients.
I am committed to the challenging, yet worthwhile goals, of helping clients of all ages grow, thrive and build meaningful lives and stronger families. My guidance and help, rooted in researched-based practices, can help these become reality.

Nearly 1 in 5 adults live with a mental health disorder. Almost 50 percent of teens also face mental health difficulties (National Institute of Mental Healht; NIMH). It has been a lifelong mission of mine to offer comprehensive services to help indiviudals cope with their mental health challenges so that they can focus their attention and efforts on building a meaningful and purposeful life. To that end, I specialize in psychological treatment for children, adolescents and adults. I also complete select psychological evaluations to assist in immigration challenges. I offer a free, confidential telephone consultation prior to initiating any psychological service.
