Hello! I am a bi-lingual (Spanish/English), mindfulness-focused and person-centered licensed therapist in New Jersey. I have been a practicing social worker for 12+ years in multiple settings including outpatient therapy, in-home therapy, and school based mental health. I am a clinically licensed social worker, am a certified clinical supervisor, a registered yoga teacher, and an advocate of self-care.

I believe self-care is community-care. By dedicating time to care for and heal as individuals we become available to care for our families and communities. There is incredible value in bringing awareness to your experiences so that you may make informed decisions on what you need to show up as your best self in every aspect of life. My therapy approach is collaborative and driven by your needs and level of motivation. The practice approach is person-centered, strength-based, collaborative, mind-body connection, and cognitive-behavioral. These approaches frame the practice but the work is driven by your individual needs, level of motivation, and goals.

We will work together to identify your therapy goals and build self-awareness, self-care, and healing through reflection, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness and mind-body (polyvagal-informed) practices. To learn more about therapy and explore if we are a good fit, I encourage you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation through my website: theyouinitiative.com.

All services are virtual and available to individuals residing in the state of New Jersey. If you have any questions please do reach out through the website or in the email box below. I look forward to connecting!
