Accepting Clients

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next steps? I’m a Latina therapist with 10+ years supporting young adults.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Haven, CT

About My Clients

I support teens, young adults, and women facing anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, cultural stressors, and major life changes. My ideal clients are thoughtful, caring individuals who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected from themselves. I offer a supportive, culturally aware space where clients can heal, gain insight, and develop skills to navigate emotions, relationships, and everyday challenges with confidence.

My Background and Approach

I am a bilingual Latina therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting teens, young adults, women, families, and veterans. My background includes specialized training in trauma, anxiety, behavior, attachment, and cultural identity concerns. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and behavioral strategies to help clients understand patterns, reduce stress, and build healthier coping skills. Clients often benefit from my warm, direct, and culturally affirming style, which helps them feel seen and understood. I work collaboratively, offering both structure and compassion so you can gain clarity, strengthen your sense of self, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels safe. My goal is to help you move from overwhelm to confidence, and from surviving to living with intention.
