I am a bilingual (Spanish) child analyst, on the child faculty, an advanced candidate in adult training at SPSI, and provide psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. I work with adults, adolescents, youth, children, infants, families, couples, and groups with varied human concerns, conditions, and issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, cultural and identity concerns, attachment, and relationship difficulties.

My work is from a systems lens and collaborative using a depth-based psychoanalytic approach. I draw from and integrate varied analytic schools of thought including Relational, Kohutian, Object Relations, Adlerian, and Lacanian. Complementary treatment modalities and expressive therapies may be incorporated.
