Our journey towards personal growth can be challenging and sometimes overwhelming to manage on our own.

Seeking therapy is not an easy decision to make. I am a warm, empathetic, and culturally sensitive therapist with experience in working with children, adolescents, and adults. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can feel comfortable exploring the reasons that have led them to seek therapy. Feeling connected and understood is crucial when working collaboratively with a therapist to help identify personal issues and moving towards a better self, marriage, or family life and improving overall functioning.

My ideal client would be a 21 year old woman who is of Puerto Rican descent, and does not know how to navigate identifying within the LGBTQ community. She was raised in a religious household, and thinks her relationship with her family would be ruined if she was to come out. However, the client does not want to live a lie, but has been feeling sad with the idea of her family disowning her. The client wants to find a way to be comfortable in identifying as a gay woman, and wants to find a way to communicate her sexuality with her family.

I believe that change is a process that begins with the way one thinks about things. We all experience times of darkness and deep sorrow. We experience anxiety and also struggle with life transitions. Healing comes when we take the time to share our stories, connect with our feelings, and explore our experiences. As you consider therapy, know that feelings of sadness, anxiety, shame, guilt, confusion, and longing are experienced by everyone. Processing what is troubling you can bring you a sense of relief and balance. Self awareness can add purpose to your life.
