What should people thinking about therapy with you, know about you?

I specialize in the treatment of issues related to chronic and life-limiting illness in adults, as well as issues related to aging and adjustment to life transitions in mid- and older adulthood. I also have experience working with mood disorders and trauma, and supporting clients through grief and bereavement, migration and navigating family difficulties in a new culture, and sleep disorders.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey with a special interest in adjusting to medical illness and aging. A clinical health psychologist by training, I received my Ph.D. from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York after completing a pre-doctoral Clinical Psychology Internship at Mount Sinai Services/Elmhurst (2023). I also hold a Licentiate in Psychology from the Universidad de Palermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina (2013). I have specific expertise in helping adults adjust to chronic illness, including heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions, cancer and cancer survivorship, palliative and end-of-life care, diabetes, asthma, and GI/gastrointestinal disease, through my pre-doctoral externships and internship at Northwell Health/Long Island Jewish in Manhasset, Queens Hospital, and Elmhurst Hospital. My research has focused on aging adults’ adjustment to life with multiple chronic illnesses, including improving quality of life, reducing depressive symptoms, illness self-management, and patient-provider communication. In addition to my role as a therapist, I am also a Postdoctoral Associate in Behavioral Geriatrics in the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, where I focus on understanding the relationship between living with multiple chronic conditions and depression, as well as improving care for this population. I am a member of the Gerontological Society of America and the Society for Behavioral Medicine, and an editorial board member for the Annals of Behavioral Medicine.

I place a great deal of importance in the therapeutic alliance, which is just a fancy name for the relationship between the two of us. Tons and tons of research show great alliances make for great therapeutic results. So, from the get-go you and I will discuss how we can make this alliance as strong as possible, and what sorts of things you think could cause a rupture in our relationship and how we could work towards repairing any eventual ruptures.

I'm a mix of all sorts of cultural influences - hence my fascination with languages and helping my clients adapt to change. My mother tongue is English, but I also grew up speaking Spanish, with my years in Buenos Aires leaving me with an unmistakably Argentinian accent (which other Spanish- speakers tend to sometimes 'lovingly mock'). My European side is thanks to over 30 years spent living and working in France, where I picked up not only an incurable love for lavender crème brûlée and other deliciously fattening foods, but the ability to provide therapy in fluent French. All in all, this means that immigrants, foreigners, expats; you're my people!

I use a variety of modalities in my work, depending on the individual(s) in front of me. My favorite modality is Emergence, developed by Steven Paglierani. I have found that studying Emergence helps me heal my own wounds and struggles and allows me to understand my human nature on a deeper level in a nonjudgmental way. Emergence is not simply a therapy modality, but also a scientific method. It’s a personality theory. Emergence is many things, and throughout our sessions, I may teach you more about it. Additionally, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused methods.
