Hola, hablo Español. I am a Bilingual, fluent in Spanish, Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received a Bachelor Degree from Southern Connecticut State University and continued my education at New York University where I earned a Master degree in Social Work. I have experience working with families, children and adults struggling with various Mental health challenges including but not limited to: depression; anxiety; trauma; mood disorder and personality disorders. I also have a level of competence in working with victim’s and aggressors of domestic violence and extensive experience with working in crisis-level settings and providing crisis intervention and solution focused therapy. Through a trauma-informed lens, while also being sensitive to cultural differences and backgrounds, I provide an empathic, person-centered approach to therapy. We all face challenges such as grief, high expectations, stress, heart ache and turmoil throughout our journeys and yet have the amazing ability to cope with it and keep going. But let’s face it, some days can be harder than others and sometimes we need a place to take time to check-in with ourselves to help us continue on our journey; this is that place and I am here to help you with your journey. My focus is to create a strong working therapeutic alliance while maintaining an unconditional positive regard to everyone I work with. I am passionate about empowering you to promote change in your life and help you achieve your goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
