I am a clinical psychologist and licensed clinical counselor (LCPC) with a foundation in depth psychology and psychoanalysis, although my work has evolved far beyond traditional psychotherapy. With over 33 years of clinical experience, I bring a depth-oriented, integrative, and embodied approach to healing and transformation.

About ten years ago, my personal journey led me deep into the Amazon, where I immersed myself in the wisdom of Nature and the teachings of indigenous curanderos. These experiences opened me to profound dimensions of healing and being and deeply influenced the way I understand the human psyche and the therapeutic process. They also strengthened my passion for integrating spiritual and contemplative perspectives into psychotherapy.

My training includes Hakomi (mindful somatic psychotherapy), EMDR, and Mindfulness and Meditation under the guidance of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. I am also a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist through the Grof Legacy Training, where my training in Holotropic Breathwork and psychedelic therapy has further expanded my understanding of the psyche and the transformative potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Over the years, I have woven together psychodynamic analysis, somatic awareness, mindfulness, spiritual practices, and psychedelic-assisted approaches into an intuitive and embodied way of working. I honor the wisdom of the body, the depth of the psyche, and each person's unique capacity for healing and self-realization.

I believe that we all possess an innate guiding intelligence and profound inner resources that can lead us toward greater wholeness. My role is not to provide answers, but to create a space of safety, trust, and presence in which clients can turn inward, encounter what is asking to be seen, and reconnect with their own inner wisdom. In this process, pain and trauma can become portals for deeper understanding, growth, and transformation.

I view crisis not simply as something to overcome, but sometimes as an invitation into a deeper relationship with ourselves and an opportunity to step more fully into our authentic lives. Whether working with trauma, anxiety, depression, or periods of profound life transition, my intention is to accompany each person with compassion, curiosity, and respect for the unique intelligence of their healing journey.
