Great to meet you!

I am a NYC-born and raised Latina Social Worker with experience supporting individuals (adults, young adults) navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, family and relationship concerns, and other mental health challenges, and support needs. My clinical background includes both work in outpatient and inpatient psychiatric settings, which has allowed me to work with a wide range of needs and experiences.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I believe therapy should feel like a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can process your emotions, gain insights, strengthen coping skills, and work towards meaningful and lasting change. Together, we can focus on helping you build a life that feels healthier and aligned with your goals.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about getting to know you—what’s been going on and what you’re hoping for.

I’ll ask a few questions to better understand your experiences, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There’s no pressure to share everything at once.

You can also use this time to get a sense of how I work. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported and understood.

We’ll end by talking about what feels most important and what next steps could look like.
