Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker from the Bronx, NY. I have dedicated my career to reducing the stigma related to mental health and emotional wellness, particularly within communities of color, by offering support, coping techniques, and safe talk spaces for clients. I am extremely passionate about the progression of generations, self-care, family relationships, communication styles and strong self-efficacy.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic goal is to reduce the stigma related to mental health and emotional wellness by offering support, coping techniques, and safe talk spaces for clients. I embrace cognitive behavioral techniques and I do believe in homework assignments when needed to support reflection, implementation, and focus. As long as everyone is safe, we will work together to create the rules and structure, as therapy is a personal experience and cannot be one-size-fits-all. My goal is to help you find your voice, believe in your confidence, and become comfortable feeling what you need to feel without shame.

What you can expect from me

Sessions with me are similar to speaking with a friend. This is your session; once housekeeping is done, you will lead and I will offer support and facilitate the process.
