My specialty is working with Black, brown and multi-ethnic, non-monogamous and QTGNC/questioning folks experiencing depression, anxiety/panic, complex trauma, and relationship or social transitions. In addition, I am experienced serving folks with a range of identities struggling with body image, disordered eating, substance misuse, self-harm, and chronic illness, including chronic pain and social stigma. I work particularly well with folks looking to decolonize their minds, relationships and lives, and generate new values-based, life-affirming constructs for themselves.

There is no “one size fits all” approach here. I think at its most core level, my job is to create a space that is collaborative, never-judgmental, and genuinely supportive of the whole you. With that as a foundation, I pull from a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on your preferences including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices. My work is also grounded in a relational-cultural framework, which causes me to frequently get curious about the way societal messages might have shaped how you view yourself and your potential.

I have worked with a diverse population of individuals in my 5+ years of experience as both a social worker and a counselor in NY. Cultural competence is something that I take pride in as a counselor, especially working in this melting pot of a city. In many cultures, there is still a stigma attached to Mental Health, I know this firsthand from my own experiences as a Latino. This makes it difficult for some to even think about going to therapy at all. Therefore, it is important for me to build a therapeutic relationship based on understanding, empathy, and genuineness so that you may feel comfortable in a non-judgmental setting.

Sometimes life has us so overwhelmed that words evade us. We can be drenched in emotion, or we can be numb to it all. Our struggles manifest uniquely according to the biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual elements in our lives. We might feel lost and alone, but it is important to remember that we are not. I wish to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you, in which we can explore together. We may attempt to connect words with feelings, or we may let silence hold its power; the conscious and the unconscious are both invited. Through our relationship we may discover new pathways of resilience.

Sometimes grief can feel overwhelming. When grief is sudden, traumatic or complex we may feel that we need help working through it, but not know where to start. As a clinical social worker, I’ve worked with people facing some of life’s greatest challenges and seen them heal. I've worked with many individuals who are new or skeptical of therapy and it has been my great joy to help them gain confidence and hope through our work together. If you experienced a traumatic or overwhelming loss, I would love to provide a safe, affirming space to work through it.
