Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“I am a psychologist offering depth-oriented psychotherapy for adults navigating identity shifts, existential uncertainty, and periods of internal conflict. Many of my clients are thoughtful, introspective individuals who sense that their distress is connected to deeper patterns of meaning, self-concept, and unresolved inner tensions. They may feel successful externally yet internally fragmented, blocked, or unsure of their direction. Our work focuses on slowing down recurring emotional and cognitive patterns, exploring unconscious dynamics, and strengthening psychological coherence. My approach integrates evidence-informed clinical tools with depth and meaning-centered perspectives, supporting both emotional regulation and long-term integration. This is not surface-level symptom management. It is structured, reflective work aimed at greater clarity, individuation, and internal alignment. Sessions are confidential and conducted online in English and Spanish.”

About Me

I am a psychologist working primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity shifts, and periods of internal conflict. Clients often come to me when they feel stuck between who they have been and who they are becoming. Some are high-functioning but inwardly overwhelmed. Others are questioning long-held roles, beliefs, or relational patterns and want to understand what is unfolding beneath the surface. My approach is depth-oriented and integrative. I draw from psychodynamic and Jungian-informed perspectives alongside evidence-based psychological tools for emotional regulation and cognitive clarity. I guide the process with structure and clarity, while respecting your autonomy in choosing your direction. Sessions are reflective but grounded. We slow down recurring patterns, explore emotional responses, and work toward greater coherence between your internal experience and external life. I work well with individuals who value thoughtful inquiry, psychological depth, and honest conversation.

Approach

My work is depth-oriented, integrative, and structured. I draw from psychodynamic and Jungian-informed perspectives alongside contemporary evidence-based approaches such as ACT and CBT. This allows us to explore the deeper emotional and relational patterns shaping your experience while also working with practical tools that increase psychological flexibility. In sessions, we slow down recurring thoughts, emotional reactions, and relational dynamics so they can be understood rather than automatically repeated. We examine how past experiences and internal narratives influence present choices. At the same time, we develop skills that strengthen emotional regulation, clarify personal values, and support intentional action rather than avoidance. I guide the process with structure and clarity while respecting your autonomy in choosing your direction. The aim is not to eliminate difficulty, but to build coherence, resilience, and a more grounded relationship with yourself.
