Hello! Is your relationship with yourself or important people around you diminished by problematic thoughts, feelings or behaviors? Are you having difficulty reaching goals in work, school, family or other significant areas of your life? With over 25 years of clinical experience helping adults overcome such issues, I bring a thoughtful, sensitive, accepting and thorough approach to the work. I have been effective working with a wide range of ages and backgrounds on issues such as depression, anger, anxiety, relationships, transitions, stress, impulsivity and many others. What are the unique life circumstances you've faced? Are there important parts of you that have not been sufficiently seen, heard or respected? I engage my clients in a mutual process of inquiry so as to improve self-understanding, self-esteem and satisfaction with life. I have advanced training in early loss and in the uniquely powerful technique of group. You deserve help. You may want to interview several therapists to find the right fit. I often have one or several consultation meetings to help potential clients understand how I approach treatment and how it feels to discuss concerns with me. Please feel free to contact me so that we can explore the possibility or our working together. Thank you!

All are welcome here. I am humbled you chose me as your witness! I am a trauma alchemist, transformative life coach and consultant whose client population mostly consists of (but is not limited to) Latinx and Black powerful cycle breakers. I engage in transformational work with survivors of childhood trauma, toxic friendships, mother-daughter dysfunction, father wound, poverty trauma, spiritual abuse, and imposter syndrome, immigration/acculturation & gaslighting. Trauma manifests in many forms including: anxiety, depression, hyper-vigilance, codependency, people pleasing, self-criticism, and difficulty regulating emotions. I am love, a mothering and caretaker archetype. My clinical approach is varied— I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. I use all modalities based on the client’s needs and goals. I center people’s experiences and their interactions within systems of oppression. I provide a soft space for clients to land to unpack and process. I believe everyone deserves a sacred space to feel accepted, grow, and thrive. As an inclusive and affirming clinician, I am committed to journeying with you, as we tap into what makes you feel alive, vibrant and at home in yourself. In this journeying of being and embodiment, you will experience clarity, and let go of what is no longer serving you.

The idea of starting therapy can stir up many emotions for us. Maybe we're scared of getting vulnerable. Maybe we're struggling to accept that we need help and feel like we've failed. And maybe a little bit of us sparks with hope that something better can happen in our lives; that change is possible. Many people enter therapy feeling disconnected and low on hope, but together we can work to change that. I love helping clients to restore hope and connection with their most authentic selves. Over the last decade I have worked with people coping with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also bring a specialized focus in working with adoptees and caregivers (especially those who find themselves unexpectedly care giving for a loved one earlier in life than they anticipated). My work is most informed by a background in trauma, attachment, and self compassion. My favorite part of being a therapist is helping people to see themselves with more clarity and kindness. If you think I might be a good fit to work with you, drop me a message and let's chat!

Do you sometimes feel as though you are an actor, playing a role in public, but living very differently in private? Do you engage in behaviors that you might not be totally proud to reveal? Maybe its getting high, or gaming, or gambling or porn. To me, it doesn't really matter. and it doesn't really matter whether these actions are seen by others as "good" or "bad." My concern is you. If you are engaging in behaviors that you feel ashamed of, that you have tried to cut down or cut out but couldn't, then I want to help. We can work together to identify what is helpful and what is not, see where these behaviors fit into your life and make adjustments as needed. This is how I live my personal and professional life and I hope to be able to be of service to you. I look forward to speaking with you.

White Plains, NY

Are you carrying the weight of being a first-generation eldest hija while trying to find your own path? Te veo. Balancing school, family expectations, and your own needs can feel overwhelming. You may feel pressure to succeed, to make your family proud, and to hold everything together, while quietly feeling stretched or disconnected from yourself. In our work together, we create space to slow down and check in with what you’re feeling and needing. Therapy becomes a place to explore who you are beyond expectations, while gently tending to the parts of you that have learned to push through or put yourself last. My approach is trauma informed, relational, and culturally attuned, with attention to both your emotional experience and your body’s response to stress. We move at a pace that feels steady, supporting you in building self trust and a more grounded relationship with yourself. I also provide psychological evaluations for immigration cases, conducted with objectivity, care, and cultural awareness. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York, and a first-generation eldest daughter of Colombian parents. My work is shaped by both lived experience and over a decade of clinical practice, offering a space that honors the complexity of your story.

Psychologist
Melville, NY

On the outside, it might look like you’re keeping things together—classes, sports, work, relationships—but inside you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like something just isn’t feeling right. I work with college students and student-athletes who are navigating stress, anxiety, grief, and past experiences that continue to show up in the present. In therapy, we slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and find practical ways to feel more grounded and steady again. A lot of my work focuses on grief, loss, and unresolved experiences, using EMDR to help process what feels stuck alongside strategies for structure, motivation, and balance. You don’t need the right words or a clear explanation to start—just a sense that something has been weighing on you. Therapy can be a space to sort through it and move forward at a pace that feels manageable. Availability is flexible in evenings and on weekends.
