About My Clients
I work with multicultural and biracial couples who feel stuck in recurring conflict, emotional distance, or misunderstanding—often rooted in cultural differences, family-of-origin expectations, identity, or power dynamics. I also work with high-achieving adults and young professionals of color who may appear successful on the outside but struggle with dating, intimacy, or finding clarity in their personal and relational lives.
My Background and Approach
Many couples arrive in therapy feeling confused by conflicts that seem impossible to resolve through communication alone. This is especially true for multicultural, bicultural, and biracial couples, where unspoken cultural values, family expectations, and identity-related stressors can intensify relational strain. I work with couples who are: • Experiencing recurring conflict rooted in cultural or value differences • Struggling with family-of-origin pressures or extended family boundaries • Feeling emotionally disconnected despite commitment and care • Facing questions about marriage, children, or long-term compatibility. Our work goes beyond surface-level communication strategies. Together, we explore deeper emotional and relational patterns, often shaped by earlier experiences or trauma, to develop a more secure, resilient, and authentic connection.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I received my Master of Social Work degree from the Smith College School for Social Work in 2006. After graduation, I worked in outpatient mental health facilities in New York City in the Bronx and Washington Heights, serving the Latine community. In addition to my Master of Social Work degree, I also hold a Master of Fine Arts degree in Theatre from Columbia University, a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Theatre from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Diploma in Acting from The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Also, regarding cost, even though I don’t accept insurance directly, your benefits may still significantly reduce your cost. I currently work with a service — Thrizer — that handles the insurance process for you automatically, with no paperwork and no waiting for reimbursement. Reach out and I’ll be happy to help you figure out your options.
