About My Clients
With almost 15 years of post-graduate experience, my practice focuses on adults (ages 21+) who are struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, or those simply wanting to live a happier version of their life. As a psychodynamically-trained Psychologist, I will help you explore your childhood for an understanding of how your upbringing impacted life choices and behaviors in adulthood. Since in this journey called Life, there is no “one size fits all”, I also use a number of techniques.
My Background and Approach
I'm a bilingual Spanish-speaking, Clinical Psychologist, licensed in both New York and North Carolina, as well as a PSYPACT Provider where I can see clients in multiple states. My post-secondary education was in NYC, and included diverse clinical trainings in major hospitals. I received an undergraduate degree from Cornell University in Human Development and Family Studies. I then went on to complete a Master of Arts from New York University in Counseling Psychology. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University at the Brooklyn Campus. I enjoy working with high-achieving women, especially Women of Color. For the helping professions, I provide support in achieving a work-life balance to help reduce burn-out. And as a member of the BIPOC community, I will support you around issues of racial/ethnic identity, first generational stressors, generational trauma, or if you simply prefer a BIPOC therapist.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I strongly believe that when we choose to work on ourselves, we actively seek out change and betterment. It takes courage to open up and feel vulnerable as we examine ourselves and learn about who we are and how we behave in the world. Therapy provides the avenue in which to travel on your journey. I feel honored to be part of your journey, as co-pilot. My approach is non-judgmental and collaborative. I will meet you where you are but also challenge you to be proactive with your goals. As a first generation Latinx, I'm very aware of how life can throw curveballs at us when we are seen as different and how sometimes we may question our own place in the world. But just know this, we belong. I am a supporter of the BIPOC community and inclusive of ALL.
