Trauma and Relationship Therapist, offering virtual sessions for adolescents and adults in New York City

I am a Dominican- born, Harlem- native, bilingual (Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NYC. I have a background in education and community mental health where I have supported low income and first generation clients, ages 5-80 manage negative effects of Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and ADHD.

Currently, I help adolescents and adults make sense of the hard stuff-whether that’s trauma that won’t seem to loosen its grip, relationships that feel more confusing than comforting, or the quiet weight of anxiety and depression that shows up uninvited.

In our work together, we might explore patterns rooted in past experiences, build tools to manage overwhelming emotions, or gently challenge the things that keep you feeling stuck. And yes, there’s room for humor, because healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.

I’m passionate about working with individuals navigating trauma, cultural identity, and relationship dynamics. Helping you move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentically yours.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I do my best to make it feel a little easier for you!
