MHC-LP

As a Latina therapist, I support adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I understand how cultural identity, family experiences, and personal values can shape mental health, and I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences with honesty and self-compassion.

My work is grounded in holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. I support clients in building insight, strengthening emotional resilience, and developing a greater sense of balance, confidence, and overall well-being.

Who I Support

I support:

• Adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

• Individuals processing trauma and difficult life experiences

• Individuals navigating relationship and interpersonal challenges

• Individuals exploring self-esteem, identity, and personal growth

• Individuals experiencing life transitions and seeking greater balance and well-being

I'm especially passionate about supporting individuals within BIPOC communities and creating therapy that honors each person's lived experiences, cultural identity, and personal story.

My Approach

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, curiosity, and authenticity. My approach is integrative and tailored to each client's unique needs, drawing from:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns

• Narrative Therapy to help clients explore and reshape their personal stories

• Person-Centered Therapy to support self-acceptance, connection, and emotional growth

My style is culturally responsive, strengths-based, and grounded in trauma-informed care. Together, we focus on building insight, resilience, and practical tools that support long-term emotional well-being.

Education & Professional Status

• I hold a Master of Arts in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling from New York University.

• I practice under clinical supervision in accordance with New York State regulations. Ongoing supervision supports ethical, high-quality care and helps ensure you receive thoughtful, client-centered treatment while your privacy remains protected.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I value spending time with family and friends, practicing mindfulness, and engaging in creative outlets that bring balance and enjoyment into daily life.
