Great to meet you!

As a bilingual Latinx/e Therapist based in NY I am especially equipped to support adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions by offering a warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental space where they can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting people where they are and tailoring care to each person’s unique needs and goals. I use a trauma-informed approach which incorporates EMDR, mindfulness, and practical tools to help clients heal, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I use a trauma-informed approach which incorporates EMDR, mindfulness, and practical tools to help clients heal, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a warm, supportive space where we focus on getting to know you, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to change. I believe in meeting people where they are, moving at a pace that feels comfortable, and making sure you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll begin to explore your goals and discuss how I can support you through a personalized, trauma-informed approach.
