I am currently conducting therapy exclusively via TeleTherapy in California, Colorado, and New Hampshire, where I hold psychotherapy licenses.
​
I completed my undergraduate work at UCLA and graduate studies at Antioch University, I trained in both at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California and in the Gestalt Therapy Institute of Los Angeles, followed by post-graduate learning in Gestalt and psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis.
I lived most of my adult life in Los Angeles, California, where I married, and grew personally and professionally. California in the 1980s and 90s was a primordial center for humanistic psychology, which I embraced adding to my already existing psychodynamic base, which I expanded later exploring the more contemporary aspects of psychoanalysis. Workshops, conferences, and countless seminars also provided me with exposure to technical aspects of our profession and different vantage points from which to understand who we are and how we relate, which I apply as necessary, and appropriate, to each encounter I have with clients of different ages and relationship styles. I have recently relocated with my family to Santa Fe, NM, a community I have appreciated throughout the years for its intersection of cultures, creativity, history, and uniqueness.
"For me, working with people is
a calling. I am passionate and confident about what I do."
In addition to my private practice I currently Co-Direct Santa Monica Psychotherapy Group, a diverse group of psychotherapists seeing clients who are typically covered by insurance plans. SMPG was formed in 2004, and maintains today, a core group of multi-lingual therapists that prioritize professional ethics, openness to diversity, affordability, effectiveness, experience, and a collegial atmosphere.

I am also the Executive Coordinator of Dialogando.me, a Spanish-only resource for clients around the world that need to address individual and relational difficulties in their language at affordable rates.
