Great to meet you!

¡Bienvenidx! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinical psychologist with years of experience supporting adults in their journey of self-discovery and empowerment. I founded Heresens LLC to provide a space where adults with female-related identities can feel safe and flourish. With a background working across diverse communities, I provide care to Women, Latinx, Veterans, LGBTQ+, Black, Caucasian, and immigrant populations in New York (license #026740) and Puerto Rico (license #005833).

My approach to therapy

I combine psychodynamic and humanistic approaches with trauma-informed perspectives to create a space for clients to reconnect with their true selves and develop healthy connections with loved ones. My practice is based on warmth and genuineness. I foster a therapeutic environment where client and therapist interact safely, creating opportunities for change and growth.

What you can expect from me

You will be welcomed into an egalitarian space where you can open up at your own pace. I aim to promote empowerment in becoming your own best guide.
