My approach to counseling

I do therapy in both English and Spanish. I am interested in the integration of the psychological, biological, social and spiritual influences on our well-being. From a systems perspective, I focus on the patterns of relationships of individuals and couples. While I primarily use experiential approaches in therapy, I am especially sensitive to accommodating my clients’ needs and goals. I have found that Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is especially effective in my work with individuals and in couple therapy.
