About My Clients
In my fourteen years of practicing psychotherapy, I have found myself specializing in the teens, 20s, and 30s populations, which is a critical time for navigating career and relational goals while laying the foundation for adult life. I am passionate about supporting growth through depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships, diverse identities, and really, any of the curve balls life brings us.
My Background and Approach
I am committed to providing culturally-responsive care and have a strong background in working with people of color and those with second generation and multicultural identities. As a Puerto Rican-American with many of my own cultural experiences, my mission is to decolonize therapy in my practice and do my best to reduce systemic harm. My other passion is to provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) treatment to the community. I have been practicing this treatment for the last four years and have seen what a powerful positive effect it has on symptoms of trauma, anxiety, upsetting events, phobias, and OCD. I also incorporate my other modalities such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which is a newer form of CBT, and expressive arts therapy for an eclectic blend of treatments tailored to meet each individual’s needs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Being an adolescent girl or figuring out adult life in your 20's is so daunting right now. Even in these times, I believe in the enduring human capacity to heal and grow. In life we are often faced with obstacles and can find ourselves getting stuck in suffering. There is a path forward, but it’s not always easy to find. A big part of my work is helping you blaze this trail and collaborating with your success. Using a combination of warmth, mindfulness, brain body science, creativity and sharing knowledge, I help keep your process moving toward living the life you want. Self liberation is within reach for all of us.
