Great to meet you!

Hey there, I’m Nydia, and I’m so glad you're here. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a specialty in trauma and PTSD, mental health support, CBT, and mindfulness techniques. If you’re struggling with setting boundaries, communicating your needs, or processing past experiences that still affect you, know that you don’t have to face it alone. Life can be overwhelming, but together, we can work through it. If you're ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I’m here for you, with compassion and care. Welcome—I’m honored to be part of your path.

My approach to therapy

I have a client-centered approach and value collaboration. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where individuals can explore their concerns and develop strategies for personal growth and healing. I believe in empowering my clients to find their inner strength and resilience as they navigate life's challenges. I’m deeply invested in EMDR therapy and often integrate other evidence-based approaches including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

What you can expect from me

I view this work as my life calling: to walk with people through both their darkest valleys and their greatest victories. I bring transparency, lived experience, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to begin or continue this journey. I simply offer a nonjudgmental space to listen, support, and share tools that can help you heal and grow.
