I primarily use behavioral and cognitive methods that have clear scientific support for their effectiveness and efficiency. My methods are active, directive, and educative; I aim at solving the problems that the client faces here and now.

Explore thoughts and experiences behind important feelings as well as effective and lasting strategies that will help better manage worries and moods. We will regularly assess symptoms to assure that our work is making a positive difference.

Clients typically describe me as compassionate, empathic, and effective.

While I specialize in treating anxiety in children and adolescents, I have extensive experience in treating and managing a variety of disorders including OCD, phobias, encopresis, enuresis, feeding issues (in young children), and ADHD in all ages.

I have always enjoyed helping others. I also greatly enjoy working in an interesting field that is always changing, improving, and growing!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in mental health. Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, I foster an open, welcoming environment and provide affirming care for people of all backgrounds and ethnicities.
