​I bring humor, positive energy, joy and empathy to my practice. My goal is for clients to feel comfortable, cared for and understood. My passion is to help them identify and strengthen their potential and make strides to become the best version of themselves. I enjoy working with individuals (12 and up), couples, families and groups.

I am Puerto Rican from NY/NJ and speak fluent Spanish. I’m proud to offer bilingual services for the Spanish-speaking community. I identify with being a mother, Christian, woman of color, gardener, make-up artist and an animal lover.
​I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, using a variety of therapeutic approaches. I specialize in working with clients that have experienced trauma, codependency, those feeling “stuck” in relationships and are wanting to break disruptive patterns in their lives.

Additional training include EMDR, DBT, CBT, TF-CBT, Imago and Psychodynamic Theory. This allows me to offer therapeutic options to the community.

My experiences include providing:

• Providing in-home crisis therapy for families at Washburn Center for Children 

• Working at an in-patient treatment facility at County Home School

• Providing out-patient therapy at Family Life & NorthPoint clinics

• Providing therapeutic services at North High School

• Providing therapeutic services at the Juvenile Detention Center and Adult Correctional Facility
