I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and women, particularly those who identify as cycle breakers—individuals seeking to disrupt patterns and create healthier legacies.
As a proud Puerto Rican and Dominican therapist, I love connecting with BIPOC clients and empowering women to find their voice and healing. I take an integrative approach, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), inner child work (drawing from IFS and psychodynamic principles), and somatic therapy to help you connect with your mind and body.

I also work with adolescents, teens, young adults, and families, using holistic and evidence-based approaches like Play Therapy, Theraplay, expressive arts, and integrative theories.
Chances are you’re here because you or a little one you love has had their sunshine stolen from them. Maybe you feel a loss of direction, struggle with parenting, or noticing signs of distress in your child. I’m here to let you know you just took that first brave step in reclaiming your sunshine. I am in this field because I not only want to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child to process trauma, but I want to help you heal from childhood wounds that you may have carried into adulthood as well.

I work with adolescents, adults, and elderly clients.
Feel like there's no one there to listen or like no one will care about what you're going through? Maybe talking to your friends or family is not an option, so you keep holding on to the hurt and the anger. This could lead to feelings of sadness, lack of motivation, sleep trouble, anxiety, etc. Perhaps you think that if you see a therapist, s/he may be judgmental. As an experienced therapist, I've had the honor of working with many clients, who usually view me as non-judgmental, caring, and emphatic. Let this be your time to tell your story.
