Hispanic and Latino Therapists in East Meadow, NY

Do you feel that you need guidance and support to face or overcome difficult times and situations? Therapy can be a wonderful tool to help you towards greater self-awareness, self-empowerment, and a more fulfilling life. I am a bilingual clinical social worker with experience in working with adults and adolescents in schools, clinics and private practice. In my practice I use a psychodynamic approach to identify and understand the challenges you are facing. Together we will work on helping you gain insight and build the confidence to create meaningful change to achieve your goals.

Kudos to you! It takes such strength to acknowledge and respond to your needs and therapy is an incredibly effective way of gaining insight to promote self growth and achieve happiness. Our behaviors and day to day interactions with the world and the people in it, as well as how we feel about it, are based on a series of different parts; our thoughts, our experiences and our life events. My aim is to help you navigate difficult events, repair unhealthy interactions and get to the root of the issue; reframing unproductive thoughts and negative experiences so it is no longer hindering and you can become a better you.

You’ve been struggling to figure out what is going on with your child. Between constant meltdowns at home or calls from school, something is happening with your child and you need to figure out how to help them. As a parent, you feel guilty that you can’t quite figure out what to do, even after being up all night scouring the internet for some new advice on how to help them. Maybe you’re wondering if you stopped working then you'd have more time for everything—your partner, child, and even for yourself. Or maybe you’re feeling guilty that you want to go back to work to be around other adults for a change.

Often when we are feeling anxious or overwhelmed we can become unsure of ourselves which launches us into an exhausting cycle. My mission is to help you take on your important life roles with reflection, empathy, and the bravery to take a new approach to the challenges you are experiencing. I provide therapy to adults who are experiencing anxiety, challenges in relationships and parenting, are exploring their identity, or are wanting to heal from their trauma history. I also provide therapy to children ages 0-11 who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral challenges. All services can be provided in English or Spanish.
