About

Have you been feeling lost, stuck, or out of control? Perhaps you are worrying more often than not, having difficulty falling asleep, or are finding yourself feeling trapped in your thoughts. I am here to tell you that you do not have to struggle alone. Therapy offers a wonderful opportunity where we create a holding environment to process your past, move through your present, and make meaningful changes for your future. As your therapist, it would be my honor to bear witness to your life and join you in this collaborative effort for change. As an Afro-Latina who was born and raised in New York City, I have an understanding of the many ways that race and gender can impact treatment outcomes in the urban environment. This understanding has guided and fostered my therapeutic approach. I am trained in CBT, DBT, and relational psychoanalysis, but remain flexible to meet individual needs and goals.
