Therapy is a space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change. I strive to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and sharing openly.
My approach is interactive and collaborative, and I understand that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will work through current life stressors, build on your strengths, and find tools that fit your individual needs. My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges while feeling more confident, connected, and authentic.
My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner was inspired by personal experiences. The stigma of mental health obstructs many people's journeys to achieving happiness. As a US Army Veteran, I have seen firsthand how this affects the lives of those struggling and their families. My goal is to enhance awareness and reduce the stigma.
I help people navigate life, as they seek to better understand why they are in the place they find themselves, who they are in relation to the world and others, and where they would like to be.
My work centers women and queer adults who wish to soften after life has tried to harden them. I specialize in working with folks who are:
- healing painful patterns
- building healthier relationships
- processing grief & loss
- navigating chronic illness/stress
- working through difficult family dynamics
- unmasking
- connecting with their identity
- exploring the impact institutional/personal trauma
I am a queer, gender non-conforming person. I use they/she/he pronouns. I’m Puerto Rican & Italian and I identify as mixed race. That identity affords me a whole lot, while also leaving me feeling quite lost at times. I move through the world in a body that has chronic illness and is dynamically disabled. I think it’s important to take these experiences and translate them into my work when appropriate. I am not affiliated with any religious institution, though I did grow up Catholic. I live by my principles, and am deeply passionate about social justice, food, culture, and sweatpants.
Both in clinical settings and in my personal life, I have been described as principled, observant, quick witted, dedicated, soft, direct, whimsical, rebellious, and genuine.
Psychoanalytic therapy offers a different kind of conversation. It’s a space where you can speak freely, without needing to organize your thoughts in advance, and where what you say is taken seriously. Often, thoughts and feelings that haven’t been spoken—even to yourself—begin to take shape. Something that has been unclear or just out of reach can gradually come into view. Over time, patterns emerge, and what once felt fixed can begin to loosen.
I believe in helping all age groups actualize their potential and goals. Utilizing empathy and therapeutic listening, this is a safe space to explore various life dynamics and how they impact your life. I specialize in helping people with a broad array of symptoms including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and many other topics that cause distress or difficulty.
I am open minded and warm. Easy to talk to. And I have been doing this for over 15 years.
