Meritain Health Therapists in Sunnyside, NY
Many of us find ourselves repeating patterns we don't fully understand—feeling pulled in different directions, reacting in ways that surprise us, or struggling to move toward the life we envision. Therapy creates an opportunity to become more aware of these patterns, understand where they come from, and make intentional choices about what comes next.
My work is centered around supporting children, teens, and young adults as they navigate the challenges of growing up, including school, family dynamics, identity development, and relationships. I also help adults work through stress, relationship concerns, and periods of uncertainty.

I enjoy working with clients to explore relationship dynamics and the patterns we unconsciously repeat. Much of my experience has been with individuals taking the meaningful step of trying therapy for the first time, as well as those with a history of complex trauma.

The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

You're thoughtful and resilient, and you've worked hard for what you have. From the outside, you're the one others depend on — the one who's had to manage different worlds to get where you are. But underneath, there are old hurts and patterns that weigh you down. Maybe it's anxiety or depression you can't shake. Maybe it's a voice that says you're not good enough. Maybe it's relationship patterns you want to change. You don't have to carry it alone. Together, we'll work on healing those old hurts so you can stop just coping and start becoming who you really are.

You're thoughtful, creative, and resilient — and you had to be. You grew up navigating between worlds, carrying more than your share, figuring out who you are in spaces that weren't built for all of you. You've built a life you're proud of. Yet underneath, there are old hurts and patterns that weigh you down. Maybe it's family dynamics that still run you. Maybe it's the weight of your identity — your queerness, your race, the parts that never quite fit. I'm a queer Afro-Latina therapist who works with LGBTQ+ people of color — professionals, grad students, creatives — ready to heal, not just cope. You don't have to carry it alone.
