Great to meet you!

I am a Spanish native-speaker therapist living in the US for over 20 years. My experience comes from working in community mental health, school, and hospital settings, with diverse populations from Los Angeles to New York. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social work. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Work in the state of NY.

My approach to therapy

I am passionate about working with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. I use a strengths-based, cultural, and collaborative approach when working with my patients. I am trained in Interpersonal psychotherapy and specialize in helping you with life transitions, grief, and interpersonal issues.

My goal is to provide you with a safe space that promotes self-exploration and empowerment. I will help you identify tools that can help you cope with stress, depression, and anxiety. Together we will work towards achieving healing and growth.
