About me

Hello! I am a bilingual (Spanish) speaking therapist with over 20 years experience. I am licensed in the state of New Jersey and Florida. I love working with adolescents and young adults. I also have extensive experience working with the elderly. I always like to meet my clients where they are and trying to provided a safe environment for them to meet their goals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, the client can expect for me to provide a safe space for them and to get to know them on a personal level. I am always open to sharing my professional background and any questions or concerns the client may have. During the first session, they can expect many questions from me so I can better understand how to help them. I am also always open to answering any questions a client may have about me or therapy itself.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I feel my greatest strengths are building a strong rapport with my clients so they feel safe. I enjoy being a good listener and providing tangible goals for my clients. I believe my years in working in the field has provided me a solid background to assist people of all different types of issues and complex problems which arise at times with life and aging.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have a passion for working with the adolescent and young adult population. I enjoy providing the tools and resources they need when they are feeling stuck or confused in life. I also love to work with the Spanish speaking clients. Many times it is difficult for them to find a therapist which speaks in their native language which is more comforting for self expression.

It has only been my first session but Jane was very friendly and inviting. She made me feel comfortable enough to open up about things I normally wouldn't talk about . I am excited to see how much I can grow and learn with her guidance.
