“When the unthinkable happens, the lighthouse is hope. Once we choose hope, everything is possible.”
—Christopher Reeve
Agreeing to engage in therapy is the first and most significant step in the emotional healing process.
I graduated with a master's in social work from Fordham University. I am a current PhD student. My areas of specialty include children, families, trauma, relationships and addiction. I am certified in ARC Grow and Nurturing Heart Parent Coaching modalities.
I provide a nurturing and open-minded environment for clients to heal their emotional wounds, grow in their goals and excel throughout life trajectory. My diverse background awards me the opportunity to understand complex trauma, facilitate cultural awareness and bring to light inner strengths.
Being Puerto Rican, I understand wholly the importance of cultural diversity, folklore and traditions. Understanding Afro-Latino roots and heritage can be a large part of belonging and healing.
Clients can expect a warm, understanding and patient environment with feedback and techniques to practice between sessions. Therapy is an individual process, and the pace of reaching therapeutic goals are based on the comfort and acceptance of the client.
Goals can include:
Healing from childhood trauma
Solution Focused Techniques and Positive, Affirmative Approaches
Improving Self Esteem and Self Worth
Developing healthier relationships
Boundary setting
Healing from Codependency and/or Addiction
