Welcome to my website. I am a licensed bilingual (Spanish and English) psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with adults who come from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds and are struggling with emotional distress.

I specialize in trauma-focused psychotherapy. I work with survivors of sexual assault, childhood sexual and physical abuse, and intimate partner/domestic violence, as well as other victims of crimes.  I also work with individuals who are struggling with depression and anxiety or life transitions.

I have a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University and a certification in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. I have extensive experience in various forms of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy and in facilitating clinical groups.

In addition to being a therapist and clinical supervisor for social work graduate students, I also provide educational workshops and trauma-sensitivity trainings for mental health practitioners, law enforcement personnel, and other professionals.
