Healing is an act of courage and liberation. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I follow a culturally-responsive/identity-affirming approach to therapy. We will work together to understand personal and societal factors that contribute to your sense of self. Through self-exploration of personal narratives, analysis of interpersonal experiences, and understanding of the intersections between our past and present, we become more in charge of our future and aware of how we occupy and share spaces with others. My goal is to guide you towards healthier habits that can alleviate your suffering and enable a life-long journey of fulfillment.
Millennials and older Gen-Zers, in particular, are uniquely positioned to experience isolation, loneliness, and a desire for deeper and more meaningful relationships. Making and maintaining friends, once easy and automatic, now seems to require a level of time and flexibility that can feel out of reach. You may find yourself overthinking social interactions, craving intimacy that seems unavailable, and worrying about your social network’s future. Step into a space where others understand. We will focus on discussing, exploring and connecting through shared experiences, discovering creative ways of coping, and find meaning in our collective struggle.

Many of my clients express a deep longing to be known, but a simultaneous fear of being seen for who they are. Maybe you wonder how you got here: monitoring every bite of food that goes into your mouth or constantly checking your body in the mirror. You may have a lot of external markers of success and most people would have no idea how lonely and overwhelmed you feel inside and how hard it feels to get through the day. Making peace with yourself and your body is a radical act in the context of a culture obsessed with weight, body size and dieting. I help people come home to themselves.
In addition to our evidence-based substance use and mental health therapy services, We provide robust academic support by certified and credentialed teachers to ensure the client’s schoolwork stays up to date.

Are you hiding certain pieces of yourself from your friends or family to avoid conflict or to fit in? You might feel like no one knows the real you. You’ve noticed a shift in how you deal with stress. Maybe it’s coming out as increased drinking, binging or restricting food, or turning to other coping behaviors. Or maybe you’re in recovery but other parts of your life continue to feel unmanageable which feels frustrating. You no longer need to feel trapped. Change is possible and hope can be found.

Wherever you are in your treatment process - if you have an eating disorder or are concerned about your body, your weight or food - I can consult to help you decide your next step. Therapy isn't just for those with a diagnosable eating disorder. If your relationship with your food is distressing, you may need support.
