I’m aBilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York City, providing therapy in both English and Spanish. I work one-on-one with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, relationship challenges, maternal mental health, life transitions, and identity exploration. My approach focuses on slowing down to recognize the patterns in our lives—those that serve us and those that no longer do—so we can begin to move toward creating the life we want. I have experience supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence, gender-based violence, sexual abuse, immigration stressors, and LGBTQ+ issues, including gender identity.

I take a collaborative, holistic approach to therapy, offering a safe, supportive space to slow down, and reflect. I use a combination of different modalities including psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and Ackerman Relational Model. I am also certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International.
