Did you move to NY to succeed but you are not where you thought you would be? Do you often question your career choices and can’t seem to find the best “next step”? Do you catch yourself criticizing your life on a daily basis? Whether you are an immigrant or simply relocating from another state, Gotham inevitably captures you. I know that it sounds cliché but the energy of the city is present in every sector. And you will soon realize, if you have not already, that when you work and/or reside in an environment surrounded by thousands of talented people your desire to succeed becomes even greater.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, major life transitions, or the experience of living between cultures. Many of the people I work with are first-generation immigrants or bilingual adults trying to find clarity while balancing different expectations and identities—especially when anxiety starts to interfere with decisions, relationships, or daily life. Therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and regain a sense of emotional balance.

You are probably here because you find yourself feeling stuck, with no control over what you are going through, being unkind to yourself, unable to stop your mind from racing or going into the worst scenarios. Fighting this can be frustrating and exhausting. You don’t have to do it alone. Through our work together you will be able to have a better understanding of your own patterns of behavior, why they are there, how to catch yourself falling into them and how to break with them when you consider they are not being helpful anymore.

Beginning the journey to heal from trauma, address difficulties that come with being human in relation to others and all of the external circumstances over which we have no control is courageous.

As a Latinx immigrant, I'm attuned to issues of culture and race.
Therapy can change your life. It is a powerful, creative process supporting your authentic capacity to heal and grow. Great therapy is collaborative, tuned into your specific needs. I listen deeply, with warmth, and work with you to craft and support your therapeutic journey. My many years as a psychologist, supervisor, and professor taught me that therapists need to be self-aware, and above all, hold compassionate, safe, reliable space that invites your trust. This “container of trust” is the vital ground for therapy to unfold. It encourages ALL parts of you to feel welcome, so we can work to heal your innermost wounds and traumas.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. You may be seeking support for anxiety that can’t quiet down or depression that has been making it hard to get out of bed. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed dealing with the effects of past or present trauma. You may be worried for a loved one struggling with emotional regulation, attachment, or identity development issues. No matter the issue, therapy can provide a supportive, safe space to understand your emotions and develop effective coping skills.

Do you feel lost or stuck, repeating the same patterns while holding it together for everyone else? You might be masking an internal struggle with anxiety, depression, or the weight of life transitions. You want more than just temporary relief; you are seeking true autonomy, a deeper understanding of your identity, and the ability to navigate relationship challenges with confidence. You are ready to move beyond just "surviving" the week to actually thriving. I offer a free 15-minute intro call, insurance verification, and courtesy insurance filing. Convenient to Downtown NYC, Brooklyn, Hoboken, and Jersey City.

Do you sometimes feel misunderstood or judged because you don't have mainstream beliefs or a cookie-cutter lifestyle?
Have you hesitated going to therapy (even though a part of you would like to get a second opinion about issues that keep cropping up) because you thought the person wouldn't "get" you?
Well, maybe I'm the right therapist for you. I came to NYC 1984 to see bands and explore art and then bartended in the E. Village for many years before becoming a therapist. I refuse to be pigeonholed so I won't do that with you.

I offer Virtual EMDR Intensives for adults who have been in therapy but still feel stuck. You may understand your patterns and where they come from — yet the same reactions, emotions, or relationship dynamics keep showing up. Intensives provide a focused series of four extended sessions that allow your nervous system to fully process what talk therapy alone may not shift. This approach is especially supportive for high-functioning adults who feel emotionally exhausted and ready for deeper change. If you’ve done the insight work but still feel caught in the same loops, this may be the next step.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and grounded in evidence-based practices such as DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. I also embrace a holistic perspective, drawing from logotherapy to explore meaning and purpose. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and culturally sensitive space - one that is flexible, nonjudgmental, and even open to humor - where we walk together toward growth, clarity, and deeper connection with yourself. I'm a bilingual therapist and an immigrant myself, which allows me to deeply understand cultural diversity and the process of acculturation.
