As a bilingual (Spa/Eng), Afro-Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have a unique understanding of the multiple identities and systems that may be affecting you as an individual, a couple or a family. Working together, I will help you understand your symptoms and work with the unhelpful thoughts that are keeping you stuck. You'll learn about yourself and build the coping skills you need to grow through your challenges.
In addition to my private practice, I am on faculty at Columbia University Irving Medical Center as an instructor in Clinical Psychiatric Social Work (in Psychiatry). I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Trauma Focused-CBT(TF-CBT), Interpersonal psychotherapy for adolescents(IPT-A), Play Therapy and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
When you're working with me, it's okay not to be okay! I know that sometimes life can be complex and make us question ourselves, our path and our relationships. Let's untangle these complexities together and lead you to the version of yourself that is shaped, accepted and loved by YOU!

I work with people, couples and families who are struggling with life transitions, life decisions, trauma, depression and anxiety.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a trauma focused lens. However, I pull from different interventions to give the right individual approach. Once we complete an evaluation we will be able to identify your treatment goals and start our work from there! I look forward to working with you!
