Therapy should not only focus on relieving your symptoms and distress but is also about building greater capacities for dealing with life's inevitable stresses and anxieties. I believe it is important to actively collaborate with you to find out what it is you want from therapy and to periodically evaluate the progress toward these goals. I look to tailor each person's therapy to their specific presenting problems and goals so that they will be able to feel better and feel more capable in facing life's challenges.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going" (Shpancer, Ph.D.). Each of us is on a personal journey striving to be our best selves. Sometimes, these journeys can leave us feeling unequipped to navigate their rough terrain. For most, this is the human experience. While we can't escape the realities and emotions of this experience, we can certainly learn more effective ways to cope. We can find ways to be gentler, more loving, and kinder to ourselves so that we may share this with our loved ones and our community.

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor. I graduated from Adelphi University with my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am fluent in Spanish, and also received a bachelor's degree in Spanish and Translation studies. I have worked with a large variety of clients from pre-teens to adults, and have experience working in both private practices and school settings. My preferred counseling style is to meet you where you’re at as I understand that everyone's struggle is unique, and there is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy.

Life can be unpredictable. Whether you’re a planner or live spontaneously, significant life events happen, and they often occur without warning and in situations that are beyond our control. We are all brought into this world by no choice of our own, and the environment we are raised in paves the way for how we cope with stress and adapt to changes and transitions in life; many which we may be unprepared for. We may be able to make some adjustments to change our path, but other times it’s not that easy and we might need a little extra support and guidance. And that’s ok!

When other people look at you, they think you have it all together, but inside you feel like an imposter barely keeping your head above water. You feel like something's missing.

Living amidst the excitement of New York, it can be hard to find a center. You always feel that pressure to perform at a high level, to be “on," and to deliver for everyone else. But who takes care of you? We want you to know: it doesn't have to be this hard.

I engage with individuals, couples, and families to do the inner work that is necessary for life transformation.
