Art Therapy in Queens County, NY

I am a New York State licensed latino social worker with a graduate degree from Fordham University. As a psychotherapist i have over five years of experience working with documented/undocumented immigrant families, trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, Bipolar I &II, Schizophrenia, ODD and Depression with individuals with an age range of 3 to 83 years of age. I incorporate a holistic approach to therapy to meet individuals and families where they are at. I provide a judgement free zone approach to all issues while incorporating evidence based practices and techniques such as Cognitive behavior therapy, DBT and mindfulness meditation.

For me, every client brings something special and new to the table. Every client has a story to tell and specific needs that brought them here. Whether its a major life transition, depression, anxiety or trauma... my ideal client is a client who is ready to make the changes they need to live a fuller and more meaningful life. I believe that a client's number one goal in therapy should be vulnerability and a strong connection with their therapist. This relationship is the vehicle for change and growth. No matter what the client's personal goals are, a strong and trusting relationship with their therapist is the foundation.

I believe in client centered work and meeting individuals where they're at. One method or therapeutic style does not work for everyone, and I believe in being present and non – judgmental. These are core principles in building a healthy therapeutic alliance. I have held many hats and played many roles in the field and have worked with a wide range of individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I help individuals gain insight and confidence that they can navigate through the world on their own speed and time, helping them to appreciate their process and be proud of whom they are.

Together we will work to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for.

Witness yourself through creative calling. Therapy should be a place were you can feel completely free to be and explore your truest self. Each week I hope to hold holistic space for clients to collaborate and creatively work through any obstacles within the process of growth and inner transformation. Together, inviting discussion and engagement with your mind, body and spirit to progress in self fulfillment.

Finding someone who "gets you" is frustrating and emotionally draining. Perhaps you don't know what you want, but you're looking for someone to listen and hear your story. Your thoughts and feelings are unique and precious. Being able to understand why you feel the way you do about things is worth exploring. If you're feeling "stuck", burdened or in a frustrating relationship, I would like to help you connect with yourself through self awareness and exploring those feelings together. Once you talk about those difficult things, it will allow you to connect with your own emotions and heal what feels broken. Hope is what you need.
