Psychoanalytic
I am a bilingual Spanish–English psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience in private practice. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires and have been licensed by the State of Florida since 2000 (MH6221). I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, offering thoughtful, ethical, and individualized care. I believe that while we cannot change what has happened, therapy can help us transform the way we relate to our experiences and find new ways to move forward. I am deeply committed to my work and to growing as a clinician, continually learning through courses, conferences, and ongoing professional development. I see therapy as a space of responsibility, choice, and hope. We are responsible for our decisions in life—especially the decision to take steps to relieve our suffering and create a better quality of life for ourselves.

Raymond does not share any information from his sessions with Roosevelt. I am particularly concerned because we still do not see any humility in our son. I would like to have a parent conference soon, to discuss his progress. Raymond will be out of school this whole week, so if Roosevelt can schedule him again for this week, anytime will work. Next week we will need to return to 4pm sessions.
