Great to meet you!

Hello! I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts, with a master’s degree from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. I have 13 years of experience helping adults navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, and difficulties in couples’ relationships. I take a compassionate, evidence-based approach, tailoring therapy to each individual’s unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and build the skills needed for a more fulfilling and balanced life. Together, we will work to empower you to achieve lasting positive change and well-being.

My approach to therapy

I take a compassionate, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique needs. I work collaboratively with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges to identify patterns, build coping skills, and create lasting positive change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings while developing practical strategies for well-being.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where they feel heard and understood. Together, we work to identify challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and build skills to improve emotional well-being and relationships. Typical goals include reducing anxiety and depression, improving communication in relationships, and fostering personal growth. By the end of sessions, clients often leave with greater insight, tools to manage stress, and increased confidence in navigating life’s challenges.
