As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to fostering a respectful, safe, and therapeutic space where individuals can explore their feelings, worldviews, and values. My approach is grounded in strength-based therapy, recognizing and building upon the inherent resilience within each person. Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I integrate evidence-based practices to empower clients in managing emotions, improving interpersonal relationships, and developing effective coping strategies. I have 7 years of clinical experience as a social worker. I graduated from Columbia University with a master’s degree in social work and have worked in various settings including hospitals, schools, and universities providing treatment and support to children, young adults, adults, and families. I am bilingual and able to hold sessions in Spanish and English. I am licensed in both New York and Connecticut!

Mindfulness is a cornerstone of my practice, guiding individuals to engage in the present moment with non-judgmental awareness. This promotes self-discovery and a deeper understanding of one's experiences. In times of crisis, my expertise in crisis intervention allows me to provide immediate support, helping clients navigate challenges with resilience and strength.

Having worked extensively with people of color, I am attuned to the unique cultural factors that shape individual experiences. Additionally, my commitment to addressing women's issues reflects my understanding of the intersectionality of identities and the importance of tailored, inclusive therapeutic approaches.

In every interaction, I prioritize creating a space where diversity is honored, and individuals feel heard and validated. I am passionate about facilitating personal growth, fostering resilience, and empowering clients on their journey towards positive change.
