Licensed to practice in New Jersey and accepts 40 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Coping Skills, Depression and 4 more.
Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and am Bilingual (Spanish). I have been practicing for over 20 years and have been experience in many areas of mental health, including anxiety, depression, life transitions and life coaching. I strive to ensure my clients see their value through compassion and understanding. Mental health is a journey that a clinician partners with a client to ensure that they feel constant support to achieve wellness.
In a first session, clients can expect me to listen to their current challenges, offer interactive feedback and tailor a plan for growth. The first session is always at the client’s pace.
Through my years as a therapist, I have had the honor to serve clients from all cultures and life challenges in NYC and NJ. Further, as a retired school principal, I have the unique perspective of understanding the complexities of school systems. I have worked with victims of domestic violence, anxiety and phobias, as well as depression. I have also worked with challenges with clients in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as assisting clients with life transitions/ life coaching.
Through my professional life, I have and serve clients from the ages of 8 through 70+. My specialties include anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD ,coping skills/strategies, life transitions and life coaching.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
My purpose is to assist my clients in self- acceptance and forgiveness. Trauma and life stressors add to self- doubt and a decrease in hope. Every person has the right to a rich and full life. As a therapist/counselor and life coach, my commitment to my clients is to assist them in rediscovering their self- love and belief in their future.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I assist clients in reframing and refocusing intrusive thoughts/ emotions. In this manner, there can be positive replacements and reversal of self- sabotaging behavior.
