I am a LMHC who brings a welcoming, multicultural perspective to my work.
I am an Afro-Latina psychotherapist, with 8+ years of experience, specializing in treating complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. I've worked with folx of all ages, from children to older adults, each with their own unique experiences.
Welcome! During my studies for my Master of Social Work at Binghamton University, I completed a two-year internship that worked with young adults on their executive functioning and cognitive skills. My journey then led me to the position of a community-based clinician. This is where I provided therapeutic services to children, teenagers, and young adults in their homes and the community. Furthering my interest in working with the community, I became involved in different school settings as a social worker. I have been providing crisis intervention, individual and group therapy, and case management services within these environments.
I believe therapy should bring you closer to yourself. My role is to help you understand what has shaped you, recognize the patterns that keep you stuck, and build greater trust in your own judgment.
I work with adults who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the ways past experiences continue to influence their present lives. My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. I make room for complexity while also challenging the patterns and protections that may no longer serve you.
Our work is not about becoming a “better” version of yourself. It is about knowing yourself well enough to make choices that reflect who you are, what you value, and how you want to live.
I believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.
With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.
These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.
