I am a bilingual psychotherapist with 37 years of clinical experience working with adults, couples, and families. My work integrates psychoanalytic psychotherapy with mindfulness-based and selective cognitive-behavioral approaches. Therapy focuses not only on symptom relief, but on the understanding that deeper psychic patterns can sustain chronic anxiety, dysthymic mood, emotional dysregulation, dissociation and conflictful relationships.

Are you feeling stuck —persistently caught in recurrent cycles of anxiety, depression, self-criticism, loneliness, or painful relational experiences? Do you find yourself sacrificing your own needs to preserve connection, or reacting in ways that are interpersonally disruptive —are you left chronically angry, shut down, confused, or repeating patterns you do not fully understand?​

​

Some people seek therapy in the midst of emotional distress, cycles of depression, difficulty regulating emotions, or overwhelming anxiety. Others come with long-standing patterns that can limit their work, relationships, and self-experience. Both reflect deeper ways in which patients come to experience themselves and others — internal representations shaped by early attachment and childhood development.

​

In our work together, we explore how our past experiences continue to influence our current concept of ourselves and others, as well as our patterns of interpersonal functioning. The aim is not only symptom relief, but greater psychological integration, identity stability, and self-cohesion.

​

My clinical methodology integrates extensive psychoanalytic training with mindfulness and cognitive informed approaches, that balances structured skill development with deeper personality integration.

 

Finally, I provide clinical supervision to early-career psychotherapists as well as experienced practitioners in private practice and agency settings.
