I am a Bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Psychologist serving the Washington, DC metropolitan area (License #0701004873 Exp. 06/30/2012).  I believe my own personal journey as well as my professional intuition are the main skills I possess to help people improve their lives. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups from different backgrounds and situations, helping them not only to solve problems but to have more fulfilling lives.

I have a Master's degree in Professional Counseling Psychology from Argosy University in Washington, DC, a Bachelors’ Degree in Communications from University of Piura, Peru, and a vast experience in social services.  I belief in long-life learning. Therefore, after graduating, I continued my clinical training by becoming a fellow at the Washington DC Psychoanalytic Institute and pursuing the Trauma Certificate Program at the Institute for Advance Psychotherapy Training and Education, Inc. in Maryland. I have also completed the PAIRS Relationship Mastery Program, a couple’s marriage enrichment class and continue to deepen my understanding of attachment theory, Imago concepts and Emotionally Focus Therapy to better help couples and people with relationship problems. I am presently pursuing the Internal Family Systems Model training and attend the International Academy of Eating Disorders Conference every year. I do this hand to hand to continue to be updated with the latest research on neurobiology and the integrated brain.
