Therapeutic Approach
I bring an interest in the connections between mind and body into the therapy space, with a desire to use my training to help clients feel more at ease, and to courageously take on whatever life brings their way. Coming from a six-year background in health education and medical case management, I have come to understand that our bodies and minds don’t always serve us the way we would like them to. Whether you find yourself confronting relationship difficulties or past trauma, struggling with emotions surrounding major life changes or loss, or bearing the burden of societal pressures on who you should be or how you should look; I offer a safe space to show up bravely.
I am oriented towards using creative and sensory tools to ground and to center. I have been previously certified in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique/Tapping) and I use it to lean into the ways that stress can show up somatically, often checking in with the clues that the body can provide. I am also oriented towards Family Systems Therapy and Internal Family Systems.
I practice therapy while pulling from the experiences gained from my multi-cultural background (Latin-American and Jewish), and as a bisexual woman. I believe that everyone has the right to feel empowered, loved, and cared for in their bodies and in their relationships.
Education
I am currently pursuing my graduate studies in Couple and Family Therapy at Antioch University of New England.
