You already have everything you need to be the person you want to be - I simply work as your guide to gently uncover what you have always known to be true.
In a supportive and affirming therapeutic space, we'll explore the formative experiences, beliefs and stories that have shaped your world. Together, we'll connect the significance of these early events to the patterns that may be showing up in your life today.
I'll help guide you to deeper self-understanding, self-regulation and better integrate these experiences to not only connect more fully to yourself, but uncover the wisdom that's always been there.

Clients who will benefit more from working with me are complex, sensitive persons and couples going through some kind of life transition, or some relational or existential crisis, who want to understand themselves better, integrate the many sides of their identity, "own" their experiences, and reflect about their life course and ways of being and relating. Also persons willing to heal from trauma, to build resiliency and unleash post-traumatic growth. I have lived in Europe, Africa and USA, and have developed an expertise in immigration, acculturation, and international and transnational identities and experiences.

I ask questions, I take notes. I create a plan to help clients learn how to take effective notes in life and journal during sessions with intention. I like to focus on understanding patterns. The ones that get us closest to our best life. Patterns guide us to modalities, or more specifically, patterns help us develop plans and modules for achieving therapy success, at your pace.

Life doesn’t always pause when we need to catch our breath. My clients are often high-achieving, purpose-driven adults who are exhausted from “pushing through.” They want to feel balanced again — to reclaim their peace, focus, and sense of self while navigating life’s transitions, relationships, and responsibilities.
I specialize in helping clients unpack the layers of stress, trauma, and identity that impact how they show up in the world. Through a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and relational lens, we explore not just what’s happening — but why — creating space for self-awareness, healing, and growth.

I help men who are ready to break cycles and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Therapy is a place where you can set down the pressure to “man up,” “perform,” or “get it right,” and instead focus on your own growth. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, communication, or past experiences that still weigh on you, therapy can support you in creating lasting change.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to create a safe environment where you can feel secure and supported to explore and be inquisitive about yourself. If you feel changes are needed in your life; if you are feeling depressed, fearful, ashamed, angry, stuck or confused, anxious or worried; or if you just can't stop self-defeating behaviors, you can benefit from therapy.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.Si siente que necesita cambios en su vida; si se siente deprimido, temeroso, avergonzado, enojado, o preocupado, o si no puede controlar los comportamientos autodestructivos, usted puede beneficiarse de la terapia.

As a Queer Dominican-immigrant cis-woman of color, my personal experiences navigating the world have shaped my commitment to providing mental health care that is grounded in an awareness of systemic power and oppression.
Exploring the deepest parts of ourselves or sitting with the heaviest feelings is daunting. But to do so, and to create something new from it, is liberating. Therapy offers a space to connect with all parts of yourself and move toward authenticity. I believe our work together can be a step toward not just coping, but creating a life that feels full. In our sessions, we’ll dive into the unknown together. I believe that lasting change can take place when we create a space that challenges us without compromising self-compassion. I will walk with you toward this transformative self-compassion in the moments it feels hardest to access.

I am an experienced psychoanalyst, analytic supervisor, and recipient of the Sigourney Award for my clinical and scholarly work with Latinx and gender variant communities.
In my practice (in Philadelphia and New York) I offer a welcoming setting and provide a safe space for your pain or difficulties. When you speak about yourself to someone who is trained to listen and examine the circumstances that motivated your consultation, a change occurs. A psychoanalyst is a person trained to hear what is happening under the surface, and provides a place where you may speak and hear yourself differently. I have been working as a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist for 30+ years and I have found that words can hurt, words can make people sick, but words can also save. Talking cures.

I have been working as a psychoanalyst for almost twenty years and understand how challenging it can be to seek help at times. However, as we all need assistance at various moments in our lives, embarking on psychotherapy is an important step. Working with psychoanalysis can help you better understand the past experiences that shaped your character, as well as your future, desires, goals you aspire to achieve and the fears and obstacles you encounter. I can listen to patients in English, Portuguese (my native language), and Spanish. I have experience with student's mental health, depression, anxiety, psychosis and another diagnosis.

Do you feel like you’re failing at a "script" you never signed up for? When you find yourself in the space between rejecting old scripts but not yet knowing what your new scripts will be, the weight of the unknown can be paralyzing. Most challenges are fueled by a fear of being 'wrong.' I help you move past those 'right' and 'wrong' binaries and develop a deep relationship with your own intuition. When you are no longer fighting yourself, you have the energy to truly connect with others.

As a psychoanalyst with twelve years of clinical experience, I can work with you to analyze your life experiences and the unconscious determinations that may be keeping you stuck in some ideas and negative affects. An important aspect of my practice is creating a safe space where you can express yourself freely and work through your thoughts and feelings, while I actively listen, ask questions, and dialogue with you until unheard possibilities arise. Psychoanalysis shows us that words carry the extraordinary power to change not only symptoms but also bodies and perspectives.
