Great to meet you!

¡Hola! I'm Leidy, a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist. I work with adults navigating major life transitions, grief and loss, fertility issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, family transitions and more. Many of the people I work with are in the middle of something big, whether that's a loss, a shift in their family, a fertility journey, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected, and they're looking for a space where they can finally exhale.

I'm originally from the Dominican Republic, and Spanish is my first language. As an immigrant myself, I understand what it's like to navigate multiple worlds, identities, and expectations. I'm also the proud parent of a son with autism, so I know firsthand what it's like to walk through major life transitions, advocate for your family, and find strength you didn't know you had. These experiences shape the way I show up for my clients every day.

My background is rooted in community work. I spent years in non-profit organizations supporting diverse communities, and that experience taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, honoring their culture, language, strengths, and identities. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that reflect the whole of who you are.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to offer a safe and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story. Together, we'll work on identifying your concerns, exploring patterns that aren't serving you, and developing skills to make your life feel more manageable and fulfilling.

I'm certified in several therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma Informed Therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices, because I believe healing doesn't just happen in our minds. It lives in our bodies, our breath, and our nervous systems too. I'll tailor our work to fit what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all formula.

Whether you're grieving, navigating a fertility journey, processing trauma, or adjusting to a big life change, we'll move at your pace and build tools that feel real and usable in your everyday life.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is really about getting to know you. We'll talk about what brought you in, what's been weighing on you, and what you're hoping to change. I'll ask questions to better understand your story, your culture, and your goals, but there's no pressure to have it all figured out.

This is also your chance to see if I feel like the right fit for you. Therapy works best when there's trust and connection, so take your time. Wherever you are on your journey, I'm here to walk alongside you and help you find your way forward.
