PLEASE NOTE I WILL BE OUT OF THE OFFICE BETWEEN NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 3RD AND WILL NOT BE CHECKING EMAILS OR VOICEMAILS.
Thank you for considering me to work alongside you as you embark on a journey of personal growth, self awareness and transformation.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S), Registered Sandplay Practitioner (RSP) & SoulCollage® Facilitator. I offer a holistic, trauma informed approach to therapy that focuses on the underlying issues instead of just treating the surface symptoms.
Please note I am no longer working with younger children, I am predominantly working with tweens, teens and doing inner child work with adults.
I work from a Depth/Jungian Psychology & Attachment Theory perspective and I integrate Sandplay Therapy, Therapeutic Art & Play Therapy, modalities that can facilitate unconscious material to come to the surface for processing at a pace that feels right for each client. All forms of Expressive Therapies are a complement to talk therapy and are suitable for all ages, including adults.
I have particular interest and experience in the following areas:
I have experience working with intact, divorced or separated families, military, blended, adoptive and foster families, immigrant and multicultural families, same sex couples, as well as single parents and children raised by their grandparents.
My practice is LGBTQIA+ friendly.
Sessions can be in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
