My Approach to Helping

"If you can feel it, you can heal it"

Emotional and psychological issues can have a significant impact on personal well-being. Just as medical concerns have a number of treatment options, psychological issues are addressed through different kinds of care.

As human beings, we are wired for personal growth. I believe that within us all there is great potential for growth, healing, and transformation. Through my psychotherapeutic approach, we will access the sources of vitality and authenticity within.
I would consider it an honor to be your guide, witness, and companion on an amazing and unique journey.

I specialize in using awareness of the body and mind to bring positive change.

More Info About My Practice

Sessions:
Sessions range from 45-60 minutes depending upon the needs of the patient. Frequency of sessions is generally once or twice weekly.

Fees:
Fees are based on length of session, frequency, and to a limited extent, the financial resources of the patient.

Insurance:
For patients who have out-of-network coverage, it is likely that your insurance company will reimburse you for my services. At the end of each month I will provide you with an invoice that can be submitted to your insurance company. If you are planning to use insurance, it is a good idea to verify coverage with your insurance company before starting a treatment.

Payment:
Credit Card, cash and checks are accepted. Payment is expected at the beginning of each session or as agreed.

Length of Psychotherapy:
The number of sessions is individual. Each of our paths is different and operates on its own time. It is advised to focus on what you want your life to look like as you meet your goals.

Cancellation Policy:
24 hours notice is required. Emergencies and illness are always consider.

Confidentiality:
The law protects the relationship between psychotherapist and client and information cannot be disclosed without express written consent. The exceptions are when there is suspected child abuse or neglect, or when the patient threatens serious physical harm to self or others. i As required by law, efforts are made to ensure the safety of those affected.

Right therapist:
Research has shown that the most important factor of successful therapy is the relationship that forms between you and your therapist. Therefore, choose a therapist who you feel comfortable with, who you feel respected and listens to you, accepts you for who you are, and also appropriately challenges limitations so you can grow beyond your current capacity.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I am a bilingual psychotherapist (English-Spanish) who specializes in working with adults. I provide a professional, safe, and supportive environment to explore your circumstances and find new doors and guidance in your life. I offer psychotherapy drawing from a wide variety of contemporary approaches, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), body-mind psychotherapy, mindfulness, yoga therapy, and creativity/imagination — all of which offer the potential for you to solve your problems and experience healing and transformative change. I have successfully helped individuals to address challenges such as: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fear, anger, self-esteem and confidence issues, body image issues, post-traumatic stress, childhood trauma, addictive patterns, substance abuse, domestic abuse, communication issues, problematic relationships, life transitions, and grief and loss.
