Managed by Thriveworks. Your call or email may go to a representative.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey with over 14 years of experience providing therapeutic care to individuals of various ages, cultural backgrounds, and clinical diagnoses, including major depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring disorders. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology/Psychiatric Rehabilitation from Kean University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry. I also received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Throughout my career, I have worked in various psychiatric settings.
My goal is to create a supportive therapeutic environment that encourages growth in self-awareness, fosters an increased desire to change, and helps individuals continually practice coping skills throughout their time in therapy. I utilize a client-centered approach to accommodate each person’s unique needs during their therapeutic journey.
As a Hispanic minority counselor, I understand the struggles and unique issues related to cultural identity in the therapeutic process. I strive to establish and build a healthy rapport with my clients, creating a foundation of trust and support as they embark on their journey toward self-discovery, self-growth, and achieving a higher level of functioning.
