As a clinical health psychologist, I believe in the value of understanding the intricacies of the mind-body connection. My clinical and research interests lie in the area of illness adjustment and management, sleep disorders, and sexuality and intimacy issues in chronic illness. I primarily work with adults (18 and over) who struggle with depression and/or anxiety in the context of chronic medical conditions (e.g., multiple sclerosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease). I also have special interest in working with caregivers of individuals living with chronic and/or neurological conditions. In addition, I am board certified in behavioral sleep medicine focusing on non-pharmaceutical approaches for the treatment of sleep disorders including insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, night/shift work, adjustment to PAP therapy for obstructive and central sleep apnea, and persistent or recurrent nightmares. Prior to my role in private practice, I worked in a variety of outpatient and inpatient medical settings, providing individual, couples, and group therapy.

My style of therapy is collaborative, warm, and practical. As a native Venezuelan and an immigrant with a diverse background, I prioritize creating a welcoming and inclusive environment that allows for authentic self-expression and connection. When working with clients, I seek to integrate biological, psychological, and social and cultural factors that play a role in your individual challenges. My therapeutic approach includes the utilization of evidenced-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches.

I am currently providing services via Telehealth to any resident in the state of Oregon.
