I am a bilingual social worker from Puerto Rico. I offer therapy in English and Spanish for children, adolescents, and adults. I know how important it is to feel understood and supported in the language and style that feels most natural to you. I use a patient-centered, trauma-focused, culturally competent approach to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore emotions, build strengths, and feel truly heard. My experience includes working with middle and high school students in a school setting, as well as in medical settings with children, teens, and young adults.
My specialties include depression, anxiety, chronic illness, suicidality, self-harm, self-esteem challenges, and LGBTQ+ issues. I understand the unique stressors young people face, and I offer tools and strategies to help them navigate these challenges while building resilience, coping skills, and a stronger sense of self.
Reaching out can feel difficult, but you don’t have to do this alone. Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported. Whether you’re a parent seeking help for your child or a young person looking for guidance, I would be honored to support you!
