First session
Our first session will feel like a chat, my approach is inquisitive and inviting to develop a rapport to see if we would be a best fit for each other. We will develop trust a long the way. I will ask you about your history and upbringing, what are your currently feeling, and develop a treatment plan that suits your needs. We will discuss how often we will meet, how to reschedule and/or cancel sessions, and identify at least two goals you want to work on.
Strengths
Validation. Sometimes you sit with your friends or family or co workers and they all have an opinion on what you should be doing. With me you get validation of your experience because guess what it is TRUE TO YOU. With me you’ll get someone who will listen, inquire, and provide feedback back (sometimes with some accountability if we are not being the most truthful to ourselves).
Ideal clients
Do you feel like life is just a rinse, lather, repeat day after day? Are you stuck with struggling at work or with your relationship? Sometimes you have good days but sometimes the Sunday scarys hit you in a Tuesday? Then I might be the therapist for you. I enjoy most working with young professionals (of any background) who are experiencing depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and a little razzle dazzle of trauma. Sometimes life just isn’t jiving the way you need it and you need someone to help process. I’m here to validate you experience but also help you find things you already do well and managing and also developing new ways to cope.
Origin story
What inspired me to become a therapist was my own understanding of what it means to be human—to struggle, to carry responsibilities quietly, to experience loss and uncertainty, and still find a way to keep going. Growing up in East Harlem as a first-generation Puerto Rican woman, I saw strength everywhere, but I also saw how often people were expected to simply “be strong” without ever being given a safe place to fall apart. I became a therapist because I wanted to create that space. A place where people don’t have to have everything figured out, where they can be honest about what hurts, and where they can begin to recognize the strength in themselves that they may have forgotten was there. Over the years, I’ve learned that some of the most meaningful moments in therapy aren’t dramatic—they’re the moments when someone finally says, “I deserve better,” sets a boundary, forgives themselves, or begins believing they are enough. Being able to witness those moments and walk alongside people as they find their way back to themselves is what inspired me to do this work—and what continues to make me love being a therapist.
