I am a bi-lingual psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience in treating adults, children, families and couples suffering from depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, relationship and parenting issues, trauma, weight loss and emotional eating.
Are you stuck or blocked, feeling shame, anger, fear or sadness? Do you keep repeating behavioral or interpersonal patterns that are self-sabotaging and keep you from having self-confidence and successful relationships? Are you disconnected from your inner source of self-esteem, joy and strength?
​
By first using a developmental lens, we move from a compassionate understanding of your pain, as it is manifested in your life, to learning and reinforcing psychological skills that will create a sense of lasting well being.
My approach to psychotherapy is a collaborative process in which we move quickly to identify sources of distress and then work together on treatment solutions, leaving you with a renewed sense of hope, energy and self-empowerment. Given my extensive and multi-layered personal and professional experience, my orientation is uniquely attuned and respectful of the individual’s personal, but also cultural and social needs.
