New to Grow
I am a therapist who believes therapy is a healing space—one where people can slow down, feel safe, and begin to understand themselves more deeply. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking growth, clarity, and meaningful change. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology from UNIBE in the Dominican Republic and a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Alliance University in New York. I have worked extensively as a Behavioral Health Consultant, supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session, you can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you are invited to share what brings you to therapy at your own pace. We will explore your current concerns, the patterns you have noticed, and the goals you hope to work toward, while beginning to build trust and clarity together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths come from integrating the approaches I love most—psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I am skilled at helping clients explore the deeper roots of their patterns, understand how past experiences shape their present, and develop new, healthier ways of thinking and responding.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are individuals who are seeking a space where they can slow down, reflect, and truly understand themselves. Clients who may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, avoidance, or emotional disconnection, yet are ready to explore the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. I work well with people who want deeper relationships—with themselves and with others—but aren’t always sure how to get there.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We will focus especially about your thoughts and feelings. Asking you questions about your current struggles, uncovering what types of negative automatic thoughts you have that contribute to your emotions and behaviors.
Psychodynamic
The psychodynamic approach examines unconscious thoughts, early childhood experiences, and relational patterns that drive behavior. Rather than symptom management, it aims for long-term change through insight.
Eclectic
I use an eclectic, integrative approach to therapy, meaning I draw from multiple evidence-based modalities rather than relying on a single framework. This allows treatment to be tailored to your unique needs, personality, and goals.
Psychoanalytic
I explore how early experiences and unconscious patterns shape your current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. By increasing insight and self-awareness, we work toward deeper, lasting change.
Couples Counseling
I help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and better understand each other’s emotional needs. We work to identify negative interaction cycles, strengthen connection, and develop practical tools for healthier conflict resolution.
