I am an LCSW licensed in New York and a proud Afro-Latina, bilingual therapist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. My work is driven by a deep commitment to empowering Black and Brown individuals as they pursue personal growth and long-term fulfillment. I strive to meet clients wherever they are on their therapeutic journey. I combine different mental health models, such as CBT and Mindfulness, that best suit their unique needs, always keeping the client at the center of our work together. My goal is to serve as an active partner and accountability buddy to ensure clients move past obstacles as we reach their individual goals together.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My style is a unique and effective blend of inviting, direct, and funny. While I create a warm, non-judgmental space, I will also hold you accountable, because I genuinely believe in your power to reach your highest potential. Schedule a consultation call to see if I'm the accountability buddy you've been looking for.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My expertise lies in helping clients navigate the weight of anxiety and depression, especially when those feelings are triggered by major life transitions. I also provide tailored guidance for those navigating the daily and long-term realities of racism and sexism, by creating a space where those burdens are safely identified and processed.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My passion is empowering Black and Brown people to embrace and maximize their potential towards building the fulfilling life they want and deserve. I understand that life is complex, and there is no one-size-fits-all model in therapy. That's why I always strive to meet people exactly where they are, offering a truly human approach to help them take that next step forward.
