About
I’ve been working in Occupational Therapy for the past 30+ years specializing in Sensory Processing Disorder. I’ve assisted many people and/or families manage symptoms that can be paired with sensory processing issues, such as: autism, ADHD, ADD, cutting, bipolar, and behavioral and emotional difficulties that disrupt our daily life.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDRIA approved Consultant. I’ve paired sensory work with my EMDR skills and techniques forming an sensory-trauma informed protocol. This combination processes trauma and difficult feelings, such as anxiety and depression, at a much faster rate than other therapies. It calms down undesirable emotions and decreases impulsivity, tantrums, poor coping or communication skills.
As a Certified Imago Therapist and working with clients, I have incorporated IMAGO relationship/couples techniques, along with other therapies, to help rekindle and develop a tighter the bond, trust, and connection within themselves, their families, and/or with their partner.
EMDR, Imago, and sensory work are effective counseling techniques in managing difficult behaviors, emotions, and labels that may develop with these challenging issues.
I’ve developed an effective expertise with Eating Disorders, Addiction, Trauma, ADHD, OCD, and other diagnoses that have been difficult to treat and master.

SpecialtiesCouples Therapy
Become the Most Connected Couple You Know Feeling alone when you aren’t alone? Maybe you’re misunderstood, scared, and unable to connect with your partner – longing for the fun and exciting life you once had. Are you over the anger, contempt, and the feeling that you can do nothing right? It’s exhausting trying to communicate with no empathy or respect. Many couples find themselves in these situations, having these same feelings. The disconnect makes you wonder if the marriage was ever real or just a bad dream. These feelings of hopelessness and the desperate desire for connection may lead you and/or your partner to seek guidance and help with this journey. I can help!
SpecialtiesFamily Therapy
Family life… it can be a challenge. Maybe you’re having a difficult time communicating with your children. They don’t want to express and share their feelings about what’s happening in their lives. You and your partner argue over how to discipline or parent your children. When you try to work out your differences, are family members so busy talking over one another, waiting their turn to defend their position? It’s time to work together. It’s time to heal any mental, emotional, or psychological problems tearing your family apart. In order to help a family work together towards a healthy family life, family therapists aim to aid family members in improving communication, solving family problems, understanding and handling special family situations, and creating a better functioning home environment (Family Therapy, 2017A).

Eating disorders are pathological conditions characterized by disturbed eating behaviors that affect mental and physical health. Among them, some Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Pica and Anorexia Nervosa (AN) studies have shown, at least in part, a sensory-related etiology. Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a neurological condition that exists when the brain has an altered processing of sensory signals, resulting in non-adaptive motor and/or behavioral responses. Some of the SPD phenotypes include hyper or hypo-reactivity to one or more sensory channels, including tactile, olfactory, visual and oral that might have connections with the aforementioned eating disorders, like atypical responses from determined food colors, textures or smells which eventually lead to unhealthy eating behaviors, weight imbalance, malnutrition and psychosocial impairment. We have gathered and discussed some of the most relevant studies about the connection between eating disorders and SPD, proposing a general term called sensory eating disorder to define peculiar SPD cases that might evolve to an established eating disorder.
