As a LMHC and Art Therapist, my work is rooted in the belief that creative expression can be a powerful pathway to healing, insight, and personal growth. My use of art therapy offers a unique way to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Through the creative process you can safely examine experiences, reduce stress, and access deeper self-understanding. No artistic skill or background is needed the focus is on expression, not perfection.

I am a compassionate bilingual Licensed Mental Health Therapist fluent in both English and Spanish, dedicated to supporting the Latino community through culturally responsive, culturally competent, and stigma-free mental health care. I am passionate about increasing mental health awareness and helping to break down the barriers and stigma that often prevent individuals and families from seeking support.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are looking for a personalized and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health treatment. Using an eclectic therapeutic style, I tailor each session to meet the unique strengths, needs, and goals of every client.

Whether you are facing personal challenges, navigating a significant life transition, managing emotional or behavioral concerns, or simply seeking a therapist who truly listens and adapts to your individual needs, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and personal growth.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Worcester

Finding therapists in Worcester starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. People often search for therapy in Worcester for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Worcester therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach align with what you want to work on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Worcester has a range of therapy options across areas like Main South, Tatnuck, the Canal District, and nearby communities. You may prefer an office that fits your commute, or a virtual appointment that works better with your schedule. When narrowing your search, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each therapist’s profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to discuss.

Therapy in Worcester can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer view of what you may pay. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Worcester, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
