The therapeutic relationship can be unique in that one person, through their expertise, curiosity, self-awareness, and skilled listening, lends themself to another person’s search for growth, healing, inner authority, and better relationships.

Shame, depression, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, intimacy difficulties, neurodivergence, people-pleasing and other emotional or behavioral experiences: 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.

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 head-on. I base my approach on empathic and 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.
