If you're living with a chronic illness and finding that it's affecting your mood, your sense of self, or your ability to function the way you used to, this is exactly the kind of work I do. I'm a bilingual, Spanish-speaking LCSW in New Jersey with more than 30 years of experience specializing in the intersection of chronic health conditions and mental health — including depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and I bring a culturally responsive lens to everything I do, with particular attention to identity, family pressures, and the emotional weight of caregiving and systemic stress.
