Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual, Puerto Rican, therapist with a passion for serving LGBTQ+ individuals and relationships, as well as immigrant populations. I believe that therapy often reflects the complexity inherent in life and it brings me joy to learn about and with my clients as we move through that complexity together. I enjoy working with people from different contexts and backgrounds. My clients bring stories of discovering themselves and their place in the world.

My approach to therapy

I offer empathic listening, warmth, and humor to the therapeutic relationship. I provide affirmative care to diverse populations and hope to create a safe environment where my clients bloom and evolve.

What you can expect from me

As your therapist, I strive to be authentic, emotionally attuned, and empowering and to help create the space for you to find the vulnerability and trust it requires to embark on this journey.
