Therapists in New York

The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

I believe everyone has the right to choose how they live and experience the world, and I am genuinely interested in understanding how you process the experiences and relationships in your life. This speaks to my existential approach, while borrowing elements of psychodynamic therapy to gain a thorough understanding of what has shaped you. Sometimes we can grow to accept parts of our lives that cause pain, and in accepting those things, we may find peace. The human condition can be complicated, but it can also be celebrated.

I believe we are all on a journey to find happiness, purpose, and meaning in life.

I have experience with clients of all ages with diverse presenting concerns and I modify my treatment modality to meet the unique needs of each person. Working with adolescents and young adults, LGBTQIA folks, and individuals struggling with anxiety, social skills and communication are particular passions of mine.

I am a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, providing sessions in Spanish and English. I use an individual and dynamic approach to focus on each person's unique needs and life story. My goal is to help the client in the process of healing, to grow strength and resilience, and to find the root problem so that the client has a better understanding of themselves. My strong background as a licensed psychologist has given me experience in working with multicultural environments and all age groups.

All appointments are currently offered online only via Skype or Zoom. I use an integrative approach to treatment including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, existential, and multicultural approaches to help adults and older adults with a variety of issues including anxiety and depression. I also have clinical knowledge of abnormal psychology, mood disturbances, and self harming behavior. I take a strength based approach to the work, and I work with patients for short-term therapy and for longer-term therapy. I focus on unconscious factors to help patients increase self-awareness and insight.

I'm a trans, queer, Mexican-American therapist who works from an attuned, responsive, and relationship oriented approach. As all of us have a tendency to get lost in a narrative or storyline, I invite clients to slow down with me and get intimate with their direct experience—the raging emotions in the body, the coming and going of thoughts, the feeling of shaky vulnerability, the rage, the loneliness—honoring it all and creating a safe holding space for these lost emotions, perhaps for the first time ever. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer end-of-life support, and coaching.

My clients come to therapy with a desire to better understand themselves, their patterns, and the implicit beliefs they hold about themselves and the world. They are deep thinkers and feelers with a great appreciation for humor as part of the therapeutic process. They are often striving to become (and befriend) the best version of themselves. Together, we balance insights and perspectives with tools that guide transformation and growth.

My specialty is in helping clients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, relational issues, loss of purpose, and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness (i.e., psychedelic experiences). I use psychodynamic therapy with an existential-humanistic approach and invite my clients to see their life’s ongoing journey as an endless source of wisdom. Compassion and acceptance are key to my approach to helping with various challenges.

Life can be stressful and overwhelming. Friends and family are all going through their own stressors, and it can be easy to feel unseen, unheard, and invalidated. You deserve a safe space to feel supported where you can speak freely, be validated, process your thoughts and trauma, and grow toward the person, partner, or family member you want to be. Therapy is just that place, and I’m so glad you have taken the first step of your healing journey by reading this page.

You are smart and sensitive...sometimes the world is just too much to make sense of. Not sure how to tell if you are anxious, depressed, over reacting or something else? Something’s wrong, but you don't know what it is. I will help you figure it out.

Everyone who comes through my office door has one thing in common: the wish to suffer less and enjoy life more. I can help you achieve your life goals and dreams.

Together, in an atmosphere of nonjudgmental, accepting, respectful communication, we will interrupt dysfunctional patterns and build on your strengths. The results of a successful treatment will be that you no longer feel "stuck"; instead, you will feel like life offers you more possibilities.

I love working with individuals and professionals who are seeking more out of life, and who feel that they have something to contribute to the world but need some help unlocking their potential. I believe that everyone has special gifts and talents, and learning to unlock these gifts is the journey of life that we are all on. Issues such as self-doubt, lack of clarity, or the after-effects of trauma can hinder your progress, and I will help you to become free so that you can live the life you have been dreaming of.
