Therapist

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.

Working with me means you don't have to edit yourself before walking through the door. I work with adults across New York who are navigating trauma, grief, postpartum struggles, OCD, identity, and the exhaustion that comes from surviving things most people don't talk about out loud. My clients often tell me they've spent years feeling like "too much" - too emotional, too complicated, too much history. My job is to be the one who's not overwhelmed by any of that. I'm a Black woman clinician, and I bring that lived lens into my work with intentionality, not as a side note. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are - and also gently challenge you when you're ready - you're in the right place.
