As a bilingual, bicultural psychologist from the Dominican Republic, I welcome working with Latino families and building a bridge between generations as families immigrate and acculturate to the United States.
Having worked in the field for the past twenty-five years, my passion is to help children, adolescents and adults overcome and manage their symptoms of trauma and exposure to violence. I have worked extensively with parents, teachers, and child care providers in the area of early childhood mental health providing consultation and seminars to assist them in increasing their effectiveness with young children, zero to five. My work with ACT Raising Safe Kids has allowed me to train parents and professionals on an evidenced informed parenting curriculum for children 0 to 8.

My Hispanic identity shows in my appreciation of family and community.
My focus as a therapist is on healing trauma through the attachment lens. When defining trauma, I like to quote Gabor Mate who states that Trauma is not what happens to you, it is what happens inside you. The traumatic event may have been the abandonment that happened years ago, but the trauma itself is the crippling fear inside when someone we love doesn't respond quickly enough. Unfortunately, we can't change the past, but we Can change the ways it affects our present and our future. I hope to offer you closure by helping you understand the How and Why of your trauma.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, self-compassion/negative self talk challenges, and cultural identity issues within the Latinx community.
Do you ever catch yourself saying things like "I shouldn't feel this way" or "I can't do this" when you're dealing with emotions? Maybe saying things like "Ugh, why am I like this?" or you're always putting everyone else first, even when it drains you? You're stuck in that endless loop of overthinking, stressing about the future, and losing sleep over it. If any of that hits home, you're definitely not alone. I'm all about helping people break out of those thought patterns that just don't serve us.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
