About My Clients

In our first meetings, we’ll discuss your experiences and work together to create a plan that fits your needs. This plan will include strategies to help you change negative thoughts and develop coping skills. I typically work with the LGBTQ+ community and have extensive experience in working with this population; I have supported clients through discovering their sexuality, transitioning, undergoing gender-affirming surgeries and relational issues, etc.

My Background and Approach

I have been in the mental health field since 2018, starting as a peer counselor before earning my graduate degree in counseling. I specialize in supporting the LGBTQ-plus population and have worked with individuals throughout New York State, always using an empathetic and understanding approach.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Hispanic queer therapist, I deeply understand the complexities and stigma surrounding mental health, especially within communities of color. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy, offering tailored strategies that honor your unique experiences and empower you to uncover new insights about yourself.
