You may appear successful, yet feel overwhelmed inside. Therapy can restore clarity, connection, and meaningful change.

About

You may appear successful and capable, yet inside feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. I work with individuals and high-conflict couples navigating attachment wounds, intense relational patterns, BPD, and neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals or entrepreneurs who manage well outwardly while struggling privately.

My approach is structured, relational, and results-driven. I blend evidence-based strategies with customized assignments so you can see and track your progress. I offer a safe therapeutic space where complexity is welcomed, not pathologized, and I address the whole person by treating your physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.

I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. Using medicine and compassionate care, I help clients access deeper healing and find new paths forward when traditional approaches haven't been enough.

Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, I provide a warm, culturally attuned space focused on growth, resilience, and meaningful change. If you are seeking high-level support designed for complex clients and couples, I invite you to reach out and schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
