Dating, maintaining healthy relationships, and keeping it spicy in the bedroom can be challenging and feel overwhelming. Whether you are single or in a relationship, couple’s therapy can help.
My work with Couples focuses on issues of communication, intimacy, infidelity, trust and sexual difficulties. If you are single, and are looking to work through past or prospective relationships, we can work on helping identify the factors getting in the way of finding, or maintaining healthy relationships.
Experiencing a lack of sexual fulfillment during any stage your life can feel isolating, challenging and overwhelming. Whether you are single, dating, in an open relationship, or in a committed relationship. When “sex isn’t working”, it feels uncomfortable and frustrating, and can make you feel like there is something wrong with you.
We can work together in Sex Therapy, as an Individual or as a Couple to help you achieve the positive sex goals you want and deserve. I'm an English/Spanish speaking Psychotherapist. I specialize in Individuals, Couples and Sex Therapy. I would like to help you feel better and have success in all areas of your life. Give me a call for a free consultation.
As a clinical social worker, I believe in the connections between our environment and our relationships with ourselves and others. I have over a decade of experience working in the arts and non-profits, and believe in the inherent creative potential of all people.
As an African American Psychologist, I work with people of all faiths, races and walks of life. As a Believer, I believe in the power of faith and therapy to help towards healing. It will be a blessing for me to help you on your journey.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner with extensive experience leading and providing care in community-based mental health programs. I’ve spent many years working with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, work and family stress, and major life transitions.
As both a clinician and a leader, I value creating spaces where people feel seen, respected, and understood, especially those who may have felt overlooked in other systems. I’m particularly passionate about supporting women, professionals in helping roles, caregivers, and people of color who are balancing many responsibilities.
Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and straightforward. I’ll bring clinical expertise, honesty, and compassion to our work together so you don’t have to go through this season of your life alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trained Psychoanalyst. I earned my Masters of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in 2009 and my certificate in Psychoanalysis from NPAP (National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis) in 2021. I work over Zoom and in person in the Gramercy area of Manhattan.
My work and training have provided me with a deep understanding of complex family and relationship dynamics. I provide a working environment that is calm, empathetic, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I am a parent, pet owner and classical musician.
My approach is collaborative, creative, and grounded in body awareness and compassion. I’m a licensed, board‐certified Art Therapist with training in somatic and sex therapy. My work is culturally responsive and affirming, especially of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC identities. I’m passionate about helping people heal from shame, body disconnection, and identity‐related challenges, and about supporting couples navigating differences in desire and intimacy. My background in art therapy shapes sessions that often weave creativity, expression, and the body as pathways toward healing. I hope that therapy can offer you a deeper sense of belonging.

I like to utilize different therapies such as psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, person centered, and mindfulness to help clients achieve their goals. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and OCD, adjustment disorders, sexual and domestic abuse, anger management and mood disorders, personality disorders, and family/relationship issues. I also consider myself to be a culturally competent therapist, and have experience working with the Hispanic/Latino Community.
