I am a Doctor of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NJ with over 20 years of social work experience. I am a Latinx, Lesbian/Queer Woman and Psychotherapist. I have been providing psychotherapy in a private practice since 2018. I provide affirmative, trauma-informed, clinical psychotherapy to adult QTPOC individuals, couples, and groups. My research focus is on the effectiveness of treatment among shared identities between clinicians and clients. For queer, trans, and people of color, therapy has historically been stigmatized, mistrusting, or inaccessible. I provide an affordable, safe space and shared experiences that can help ease some of those concerns. Journey to Better, LLC is a virtual psychotherapy practice providing affirmative mental health services to the QTPOC community in New Jersey. My practice mission is to help as many individuals along their journey to better lives, careers, finances, relationships, and health. Individually and collectively, we bring our baggage on our travels through life, and often, they are heavy and prevents our forward movement. As a therapist, I will help to unpack some of that baggage and support you along the way. Each stop on the journey is a step towards better and a milestone towards your destination. Life is not a solo trip; as your guide, I will assist you in navigating the tough roads and keep you on the journey to better. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma-related stress. During our initial sessions, I will assess areas of need, and together we will create a treatment plan or road map and set realistic goals to reach your desired destination. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach to tailor treatment based on each client’s individual presenting concerns. I am skilled in Trauma-Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and narrative therapy. In treatment, I will assess your needs as together we unpack unhealthy thoughts that impact your emotions and behaviors and are barriers to moving forward on your journey.
