I hold a Master's Degree from New York University and have 21 years of experience as a Licensed Social Worker. Additionally, I am bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish. As an Afro-Latina and a native New Yorker, I bring a diverse perspective to my practice.

I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I make space for you to embrace your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment or attempts to change them. Instead, I am open to your experiences, even the uncomfortable ones, and help you focus on developing actions you can control. I use cognitive defusion to help you distance yourself from your own thoughts and observe them as mental events rather than literal truths or commands, so you can learn to see thoughts as passing words, reducing their impact and your entanglement with them.

Your first session will include an Intake Assessment, during which we will collect information about your demographics, discuss your presenting concerns, and identify the goals you hope to achieve in treatment. Additionally, be ready to discuss what brings you to therapy. and the goals you wish to achieve.
