About My Clients

My clients say that I am direct, yet compassionate, and that they feel validated and empowered to make needed changes in their lives. I bring an understanding of interpersonal and familial relationships, and I believe that self-care and mindfulness are essential tools for quality of life, yet we aren't always taught how to practice them ourselves.

My Background and Approach

I'm a bilingual Spanish and English LCSW with over twenty years of experience providing counseling in many different clinical settings. My treatment approach tends to be cognitive behavioral in nature, but I tailor it to each individual's goals and particular needs. I collaborate with clients to find active steps to improve their quality of life; my approach is solution-focused and brief in nature. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from William Paterson University and my Master's in Social Work from New York University. I look forward to meeting you!
