Multicultural Therapists in Newark, NJ

I practice from a strength-based, insight-oriented, and collaborative approach individualized to meet the unique needs of each client. I offer an empathetic, supportive, and accepting environment for my clients to feel heard and understood while also challenged and inspired to take on new perspectives, ways of thinking, and daily practices. Therapy is a process that can provide tools to relieve immediate stress, but also an opportunity to explore the underlying meanings, behavioral patterns, and relationship dynamics in order to lead a life of authenticity and genuine fulfillment. My clients also strive to positively impact society.

It has been my professional privilege over the last 25 years to provide counseling to married couples, families and individuals who were struggling with various relationship challenges, personal crisis and family conflicts. I have also had to opportunity to provide extensive one on one personal counseling to many individuals who were struggling with depression, general anxiety, grief, anger issues, abusive relationships, sexual assault, and personal trauma. Many of these clients were wonderfully helped, healed, given new hope and were taught new relationship survival and coping skills that they are now able to use to enhance their relationships and personal lives.

I help adults and new moms manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, the transition to parenthood, and finding your new identity, relationship issues, grief, and personality disorders.

Deciding to begin therapy can be anxiety-provoking. After all, sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings doesn't come naturally to most adults. My goal is to create a non-judgmental and collaborative space where you can explore what is currently challenging you, and most importantly, create the necessary changes that will result in a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach is based upon your particular needs. I treat each client as a unique individual, tailoring the therapeutic approach to be the most useful to your present challenges.

Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, I have witnessed a lot that has helped me as a psychologist. I am experienced with working with children who have trauma and/or behavioral issues and adults who have mental health issues ranging from minimal stress to schizophrenia. I have worked with families that are dealing with infertility, infidelity, and separation. I am also a certified school psychologist. Hence, I understand academic difficulties and its impact on both the child and parent.

Being a human being, immersed in this situation we call life, sometimes prompts challenges that cause us psychological distress and that can show up as anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns, preventing us from becoming the best possible version of ourselves and adversely impacting the quality of our lives. The average person sees this as something being "wrong" with them, without considering the root cause of their challenges. With some focused, honest introspection, a person can come to discover that they're often responding to something that's hidden from their awareness. It's never what seems the most obvious!

Life can be challenging and I believe that we are each on our own journey to understand what it means to live a full and meaningful life. My philosophy is that we all can benefit from taking time to care for our mental well-being. I treat the whole person, with an appreciation for how the mind and the body are connected, and an understanding of how culture and society influence our lived experiences.

Finding the right therapist can be impactful. I have found that many people are looking to work on aspects of themselves but struggle with knowing where to start and how to sustain meaningful change. Sometimes it is a matter of feeling heard/validated and other times we seek direct guidance and feedback. Oftentimes we need to develop the language to better understand what is happening and to place things in a useful context. No matter what you are looking for, I believe that creating an environment of trust, compassion, empathy and understanding is critical to the process. Looking forward to getting started, speak to you soon.

My counseling philosophy is to meet a person wherever they are, with whatever the issues are that they are dealing with, & assist the person(s) to the ultimate goal of self-empowerment. My goal as a clinician is to assist you, your family, and your loved ones to enhance his or her quality of life to a point where professional services are no longer necessary to sustain & maintain his or her full potential.

I work with clients to help them make important changes or to overcome difficult life circumstances and obstacles. My desire is to support my clients, however, I also challenge them to foster growth. I have a energetic and transparent style that I hope feels relatable and warm. This is particularly important for clients who are: new to therapy, struggling with opening up, or are trying to overcome the negative stigma around seeking support. I have expertise in the areas of relational issues, stress, crisis intervention, depression, and anxiety. One of my specialties is working with active military service members and veterans.

I work with clients who have histories of trauma varying in severity. This can look like trouble with regulating and making sense of emotions. In terms of diagnoses, I often work with clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety, manic episodes, and dissociation. My clients want to regain their sense of agency. My clients become more aware of the connection between current behavioral tendencies and pivotal events from their past. My clients become comfortable feeling uncomfortable exploring issues and experiencing the emotions that arise. My ideal clients understand that progress is dependent on dedication and consistency. Very possible.

I found my calling within the community serving as an in-home counselor and also attending at Beth Israel Medical Center as a Mental Health Clinician, since 2011. The psychotherapy work focus around Individual and family needs, using Family System, CBT and Strength-Based approach. I'm also experienced with children trauma, behavior issues, anger management, domestic violence, PTSD, Depression and Anxiety. Another passion of mine centers around Immigration. I offer psychosocial evaluations for immigration cases. I am a native Portuguese/Spanish speaker and have experience working with clients with a history of trauma and abuse.
