I received my Master of Social Work from the City University of New York, Lehman College, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from St. John's University. As a bilingual clinician, my goal is to provide anti-racist, compassionate care that meets you where you are. My practice is centered on listening-truly hearing you-and offering a non-judgmental, supportive space where you feel safe to share your story. I am deeply committed to creating a therapeutic environment that fosters healing and empowers you to navigate life's challenges. Whether you're facing complex emotions surrounding reproductive mental health, struggling with anxiety or depression, or coping with major life transitions, I aim to walk with you through your journey toward resilience and emotional well-being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a mental health provider, my approach is rooted in creating a space where you feel seen and heard without judgment. I specialize in women's reproductive mental health, offering support for issues such as fertility concerns, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, and the emotional complexities of abortion and post-abortion care. I also work with clients navigating life transitions, such as marriage, divorce, and the shift to parenthood, all while managing anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles. You can expect a warm, empathetic approach that blends evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), and psychodynamic methods. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences and challenges to help you gain insight, discover your strengths, and move toward healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When we begin working together, I’ll take time to get to know you, your experiences, and your goals. During our sessions, you can expect a collaborative approach where we tailor the work to your needs. For those navigating reproductive or life transitions, our sessions will focus on exploring emotional responses, building coping strategies, and finding balance in the midst of stress. We’ll work together to help you process difficult emotions and life events, empowering you to navigate your path with greater clarity and confidence. Whether you’re in a crisis or seeking to deepen your self-awareness, I’m here to guide you through every step of your healing process.
