Hello, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Licensed Professor Counselor in New Jersey. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I specialize in working with teenagers, adults, and families across diverse settings, including education, foster care, and outpatient clinics. My commitment lies in assisting individuals and families in navigating challenges such as trauma history, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, mood instability, relationship/family issues, race and cultural identity, work-related stress, life stages, and symptoms of depression. I have specific experience working with the BIPOC and LGBTQI population, and my goal is to provide dedicated support in a safe and inclusive environment. My clients describe me as empathetic, calming, and dedicated. Working together feels like a collaborative journey in a safe and inclusive space, fostering self-awareness, and enduring personal growth. In my approach, trust is paramount. I dedicate time to build connections, approaching each person with a calming and empathetic demeanor. I'm passionate about fostering profound self-understanding and preserving unique identity. Clients can anticipate a safe, nurturing environment for exploring thoughts and emotions, with tailored goals addressing trauma, improving relationships, managing stress, and fostering personal growth.
