Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a doctoral degree in Clinical Sexology. I have over twenty years of clinical experience working with diverse ethnic and sexual communities. I provide services both in English and in Spanish.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session will allow the client to express reasons for seeking treatment, share expectations and learn from the clinician the treatment modalities and interventions that could be used to help the client.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I pay special attention in understanding the client's emotions to be able to provide recommendations and interventions from different psychological models that can effectively help the client.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I can assist clients with mood disorders, couples with relational difficulties, persons of all ages dealing dealing with sexual related difficulties.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Twenty years of experience in this area. I have applied principles of CBT mainly with patients experiencing uncontrolled anxiety and major depression. The main goal is to help you identify and challenge irrational thoughts and support you in the process of adopting constructive actions.
Couples Counseling
Twenty years of experience in this area. With couples, I concentrate on building insight on their patterns of communication with the intent to identify negative factors and then find ways to resolve conflicts and strenthen the relationship. I use several methods including The Gottman Method in which building trust is essential as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy in which emotional regulation plays a major role.
Family Therapy
Twenty years of experience in this area. In this work with families, I promote the identification of positive aspects already existing among family members and as trust and confidence are evident, then there is a gradual exploration on the faulty dynamics with the ultimate goal of promoting healthy communication, improving conflict resolution and enhancing the family dynamics.
Gender-affirming therapy
Extensive experience in this area. I have helped individuals dealing with issues of gender identity; contemplating the possibiliy of transitioning, with all the emotional and societal implications that such decision may entail.
Sex Therapy
Hold PhD in Clinical Sexology and having training at the doctoral level together with extensive experience qualifies me to help individuals facing sexual concerns including the emotional components contributing to sexual dysfunction, relationship conflicts affecting sexual health, infidelity and affair recovery.
