However, you do know that you are not happy with the way things are right now and that you want and need change. You might even be a little scared of what it means and of what might happen. Even positive change can be scary. Regardless, we both know you are hurt and are so tired of carrying around that pain.

I have been privileged to serve people, dealing with life issues, at different stages of their growth. Helping children overcome their abuse, anxieties, depression, relationship issues, to name a few, through psychotherapy was where I started. That also led to working with adults i.e, parents, grandparents. With Children I used also Play therapy and Activity group therapy. Thus working with all the different age groups was an outcome of the family therapy. This also led to working with parents by themselves without children's presence. I have used Hypnotherapy since 1980's including regression in this life time. Since 1995 I had been fortunate to work with Dr. Brian Weiss, the author of Many Lives, Many Masters. There, at the Weiss Institute, I have extended regression to past lives as well. Since 2002 I have been in my own private practice.

Since I enjoy working with many different ages, I provide psychotherapy and counseling to a wide range of clients; from preschoolers to retirees. What we have long suspected, and what science is now confirming, is that the relationship that develops in the therapy room is the most significant factor in the success of therapy. I understand how difficult starting the therapy process can be and do my best to make my clients feel comfortable and safe from the very beginning. I view the first few sessions as an assessment period for both of us since it is important that we both feel it is a good fit. I generally see my clients for 50 minute sessions, once a week. Occasionally, when it feels appropriate we'll meet a couple times in the week. The children's sessions are for 45 minutes. Please see my article on Children and Therapy for a more comprehensive description of my work with children.

Late evening appointments. When facing life's difficult challenges, it is good to know that there are places that you can turn to for help and guidance. However, finding a therapist can be anxiety producing because when people decide they would benefit from seeing a therapist, they are often experiencing significant upset in their lives. This is usually not the ideal moment to be dealing with the stress involved in finding someone with whom it feels safe and right to be vulnerable. I am aware of this and I want you to know that when we meet you will find yourself in a comfortable setting where you will be able to tell your story in strict confidence and without the worries of judgment or pressure of any type. We will discuss what you are interested in working on and how I will be able to help you. There will be no pressure to make any decisions or commitments.

My intention is to help them get a stronger sense of self awareness, rediscover their inner strengths so that they can go from pain/survival to thriving and having a fulfilling life. I have provided services in English and Spanish to groups, adults, adolescents, children and couples. As a bilingual/bicultural therapist, I have assisted patients who are dealing with a variety of issues. Particularly, I have worked with domestic violence victims and acculturation issues.
