About

Hi, I’m a NJ-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker supporting first-gen adults navigating big goals, cultural expectations, and the pressure to succeed. As a proud first-gen Latina, I know how heavy it can feel to carry so much. Our layers and experiences matter. My work centers on trauma, childhood emotional wounds, and complex family dynamics. I often support clients with high-functioning anxiety, burnout, and difficulty setting boundaries. Clients describe me as warm, nonjudgmental, and direct when needed. View 5 Photos My approach is relational, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed. I use EMDR and Brainspotting as powerful tools to help clients access deeper healing. I focus on building safety and trust so clients can process complex emotions, reclaim clarity, and reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve had to silence in order to succeed.
