Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting adults with diverse backgrounds and a variety of mental health diagnosis and supervision. I earned my master’s from NYU. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, difficulty managing emotions and every day stressors. I believe therapy begins with a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, reconnect with yourself, and begin creating the life you envision one step at a time.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach draws from evidence-based practices, including CBT, Person Centered Approach, Solution Focused Therapy, and Strengths Based interventions. Together, we can work toward building resilience, strengthening coping skills, improving emotional well-being, and helping you feel more confident in navigating any challenge you may face. As a bilingual therapist, I value the role that language, culture, identity, and personal experiences play in the therapeutic process. Whether you feel most comfortable expressing yourself in English, Spanish, or a combination of both, I strive to create a space where you can show up authentically and feel genuinely supported.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we’ll get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, current concerns and identify your goals. I’ll answer any questions you may have and work with you to develop a treatment approach that fits your needs and pace. Most importantly, you can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can start exactly where you are.
