ABOUT ME

Specialized Psychotherapy for Those Who Feel Deeply and Live Intensely

If you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too much”—even in therapy—know this: the problem isn’t you. You’re not unfixable. You’re not too broken to heal. You’re someone who’s had to navigate a life shaped by emotional injury, invalidation, and unmet needs—often while appearing high-functioning on the outside.

You may be exhausted from managing overwhelming emotions, endlessly performing for acceptance, or trying to hold yourself together while feeling chronically empty inside. Maybe you’ve cycled through difficult relationships, battled with shame, or struggled with impulsive behaviors and the fear that you’ll always be “too much” for others and “not enough” for yourself.

This is the emotional toll of complex trauma, attachment injuries, and long-term invalidation. And it can be transformed—when you’re working with someone who truly understands the depth of what you’re carrying.

I’m not a passive listener. I don’t do cookie-cutter therapy. I offer high-caliber, precision-focused psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are seeking more than just symptom relief. My clients are often intelligent, self-aware, and deeply reflective—but still stuck. They’ve outgrown surface-level solutions and are ready for personalized, outcome-oriented treatment that addresses their emotional world at its roots.

I specialize in:

  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and emotional dysregulation

  • Complex PTSD and developmental trauma

  • Shame, identity confusion, and deep-rooted attachment wounds

  • Self-harming behaviors, fear of abandonment, and chronic worthlessness

  • Couples trapped in high-conflict or codependent dynamics

As a seasoned therapist fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, I bring a multicultural, LGBTQIA+ affirming lens to every session. I combine evidence-based modalities like DBT, trauma-informed CBT, and attachment theory with therapeutic assignments tailored to your life—designed to create movement between sessions, not just insight in the moment.

This is premium private-pay therapy for those who are financially able, emotionally ready, and seeking more than just a place to vent. It’s for those who want to work with a therapist who meets intensity with clarity, emotional chaos with clinical precision, and shame with compassion and strategy.

If you’ve been in therapy before but left feeling unseen, misunderstood, or unchanged—this is your invitation to experience something different. Something deeper. Something designed for you.

In our initial sessions, we'll go far beyond surface-level conversation. Together, we'll conduct a thorough, emotionally attuned exploration of your core struggles, identifying patterns, triggers, and unmet needs. From there, we'll co-create a targeted, individualized plan designed to restore clarity, emotional balance, and direction.

My approach is holistic in the sense that I address the whole person by treating your physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being .

I offer most therapy sessions online via video and limited in-person sessions on a case by case basis.
