: About Me

I support an integrative approach to healing. I practiced as a medical doctor for almost two decades, then became a psychotherapist and a reiki master/teacher and offer integrative counseling to my clients.
I authored Si el arco falla, la flecha no volar, a book on Adolescence as a second opportunity for ego maturation and about the use of Art Therapy with adolescents (1997).
My new book, EL Fin de la Enfermedad(The End of Illness)offers a different approach to health and illness, looking at the intelligence of the body from a multidimensional perspective. I write columns for Gaceta Tropical, a weekly Spanish paper distributed in South West Florida and for the Naples Sun Times. I founded and edited the Hispanic bi-weekly paper Tiempos de Sol in Naples, Florida.

This is not a sign of "progress." Earlier this year, the late Ted Kennedy said that when Congress finally votes on health care legislation, a century-long struggle will reach its climax, and we will end the disgrace of America as the only major...
