My unique training in a combined Clinical and School Psychology doctoral program qualifies me to work with individuals across the lifespan.

I am a clinical social worker with over 12 years of experience working directly with individuals. I provide individual therapy for adults.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of disordered eating and body image concerns, as well as issues related to women's health, pregnancy, miscarriage, and adjustment to significant life transitions such as parenthood, work-family balance, college, career change, and loss. I believe a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship is essential in the facilitation of healing, and the process of growth and change. I employ an integrative method, drawing from various theoretical understandings and treatment modalities, to develop an effective approach to address distinct needs.
Additionally, I believe the consideration of multicultural and social factors to be central to the understanding of individual concerns. My style is warm and engaged, aimed at both reducing symptoms and increasing insight into interpersonal patterns, and past influences on current functioning.
As a native Spanish speaker, I also bring extensive experience working bilingually in hospital, college, and private practice settings.

I’ve been in private practice since 2004, working with adults individually, in couples, and in groups. My style is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and share freely. You’ll find me listening intently, asking questions, but also allowing for moments of quiet reflection. My approach is informed by my training in psychoanalysis as well as cognitive behavioral therapies, and I believe that a good therapeutic fit, where you feel truly seen and heard, can be transformative.
