I work on healing from the impact that chaotic families have on adult relationships.
If you were raised in a chaotic family system, you are not alone.
Whether the family has a member with substance dependence, serious mental illness, overly controlling parenting styles, emotional neglect, or inconsistent patterns of attachment and love, a chaotic family system leaves a mark on our mental well-being, our trust in relationships and trust in our own emotions and physical self.
Adult children may experience many residual issues such as low self-esteem, difficulty in romantic relationships or friendships, productivity issues and anxiety or depression to manage the aftereffects of this family. Additionally, if the family is still present, setting boundaries may be difficult and support can help make that easier.
Therapy is a safe place where we can share what it was like in each member's family, and learn how to establish healthy relationships, manage emotions that can derail the day and find a new peace in daily living.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with more than 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples and groups. My passion is helping people put their life experiences in context and providing the emotional support they need to become stronger and able to create a more meaningful life.
I received a bachelor’s degree with honors from Universidad Iberoamericana and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Instituto Mexicano de la Pareja and a specialization in addictions from Centro de Studios Superiores Monte Fenix. I practiced in Mexico for many years before moving to the Philadelphia area. Doy terapia en perfecto español.
Once in the United States, I continued my education, earning my doctorate in clinical psychology from Chestnut Hill College. I also received two certifications: Mind Body Medicine and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and a training in Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP).
