I am an empathic and caring psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience in integrative health care settings and academic settings, nationally and internationally. Therapy is a site of self-inquiry, where one has the opportunity to develop resiliency to overcome barriers. I view therapy as a language based, cognitive, and embodied process that allows the client to tap into sources of energy for creative solutions in their everyday living. For that purpose I offer somatic approaches combined with cognitive behavioral approaches. I am prepared to work with clients of diverse cultures and language backgrounds. I am certified to provide services in Spanish, and I am fluent in Portuguese, Italian and French. I am committed to helping my clients sort through their issues, find their voices, develop skills, and achieve goals.
