Psychotherapy in NYC for Adults & Couples

I help highly sensitive people gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the challenges in their lives.

I specialize in the psychodynamic treatment of emotional and behavioral patterns involving depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, chronic health issues, shame, relational intimacy, hypersensitivity, and neurodivergence.

It is not uncommon for even the most high-achieving individuals to navigate one or several of these issues in adult life— and oftentimes they overlap.

About me

Hi. I’m a New York City-based psychoanalyst and licensed clinical social worker offering culturally sensitive, intersectional therapy in both English and Spanish, and I specialize in psychodynamic therapy to help adults and couples face these issues with insight, empathy, and action. I base my approach on cutting-edge psychological ideas stemming from current research in learning, development, and human interaction.

Drawing on my own multicultural background, I connect deeply with adults of all ages and walks of life. I tailor my approach according to a person’s historical and present-day relationships and contexts, preferences for guidance, and personal goals. My style is dynamic, pragmatic, and active in that I listen, ask questions, and offer guidance according to individual needs and clinical decision-making. Together, we work to create meaningful life changes.
