I believe healing is a collaborative effort between a client and his or her clinician. To be most effective, a clinician must provide sincere empathy without judgement. As a Hispanic woman from New York City, I am attuned to the importance of the multicultural implications within therapy. I assist my clients in developing clear, attainable treatment goals. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach.

Life is stressful, sometimes overwhelming. Having a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings is central to the healing process. I believe meaningful personal and emotional growth occurs when you feel understood and accepted. My goal is to empathetically listen, explore and collaborate with you on your journey towards healing.

Life is full of stressors, and these stressors probably got more complicated by surrounding crisis like the pandemic. YOU are not the only one; you are not alone in this. Help is always there for those who seek it. You could have anxiety or you could have gone through traumatic experience, and going through grief. You could be struggling with substance use, or have unmet goals of yours. I hope that you know the real value of counseling therapy. Although it has been recognized as a treatment for those who truly need it, it is also the road to learn how to cope with the points and situations we struggle with during our daily lives.

Hello, I am so glad you are here. Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.
