Welcome! Bienvenido!
I am so excited that you're here. Why? Because I truly believe I can help people who are struggling in their relationship and those who want to make a good thing even better! And because I am so excited about being able to share what I've learned and continue to learn about the art and science of love.
Who am I and what is PsychEd About Love all about?
Who am I? I'm a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychotherapist in private practice in Southern California, and my passion is helping everyone learn to create bridges of reconnection in their most important relationships -- including their true selves. My education includes a masters of science degree in counseling, as well as clinical certification training in both Imago and Gottman methods of working with clients. For the past nine years, I've been working with people from all walks of life who want to stop the fighting and bring more love, understanding and intimacy back into their relationships. As a registered intern with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (Lic. 67013), my practice is supervised by Sheila Diskin (Lic. 33881).
What is PsychEd About Love all about?
Among the first things I talk about when working with couples in my practice or in workshops, is the psycho-educational piece (hence, "PsychEd") that provides insight and understanding into some of psychological challenges we face in love. And even though the mere mention of "science" may put some of you to sleep, I promise that neuroscience, and learning how the different regions of the brain affect reactions to our partner, can not only be really interesting, but provide insight and understanding as well as to those times when we may feel like we've "lost our mind!" (Spoiler alert: In many situations, we have!)
