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.
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. I aim to create a space where those dynamics are acknowledged and interrogated with care.
My hope is that our work together helps you develop a more nuanced and integrated sense of self, uncover the roots of your patterns and symptoms, and begin to relate to yourself and others in more fulfilling ways. If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, curious, and committed to your growth, I would be honored to join you in your journey.
