for the moment, I am only providing video sessions (Tele-health)

To my pleasant surprise, I have found that for adults almost all the same work we could do in person can be done via teletherapy.

If you think you might be interested in giving it a try, please read below about the issues that I most frequently work with and call me so we can evaluate if this is a suitable approach for your situation.

I am licensed both in Texas and Florida

Therefore, if you are a resident and physically located in any of those 2 states I am legally authorized to provide video therapy to you (be careful about people who offer therapy "anywhere in the world or the country," they are most likely ignoring legal and ethical aspects that are in place to protect you).

Adult Individual Therapy

Have you been feeling very sad, depressed, extremely anxious or paralyzed by fear or worry?

Are there painful memories or events from your past that do not allow you to enjoy life right now?

Have you lost a loved one and are still grieving their absence deeply?

Are you new to this city or country and still adapting to a new culture?

Those are just a few of the most common situations I have helped people overcome in my 16 years as a Family Therapist. My primary focus at this moment is working with women who are motivated to work towards a more fulfilling life . Additionally, being licensed as a Family Therapist means that I am also experienced in working with children, adolescents, men, women, couples and families. It also means that even if I see you individually I am thinking in terms of “the system” (your family unit) taking into consideration how your family history contributed to who you are and how you feel today. As a Family Therapist I can help you with your own struggles in the context of your relationships.
