When ur mind won’t stop and ur body won’t settle: healing is possible!
Are u struggling with anxiety, trauma or intrusive thoughts?
I work with clients who feel trapped in cycles of fear, worry, panic, intrusive and obsessive thinking, somatic symptoms, emotional overwhelm and phobias, feel like themself again.
My approach is warm, empathic, intuitive and holistic, healing on mind, body and soul level.
I believe anxiety is often the mind and body’s way of trying to protect us, especially when past experiences, trauma or chronic stress have left the nervous system feeling unsafe. Together we gently explore the underlying roots of your symptoms with subconscious processes, as we update neural and nervous system networks, while building practical tools to help u feel more grounded.
My work integrates evidence based practices, like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, some somatic (as I’m somatic informed), and deeper emotional insight.
Every session is custom tailored to you individually, meeting u exactly where u are. Clients describe me as deeply attuned and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing unfolds and lasting change happens. Let’s embark on your healing journey!
As a Latina therapist, I understand how culture, family, and life experiences can shape who we are—sometimes in beautiful ways, and sometimes in ways that feel heavy or overwhelming. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions, or who simply feel stuck and want something to change.
I am a Mental Health Counselor & National Certified Counselor with experience counseling all ages. I will work with you through a variety of transitional stages during your life- including life changes, relationships, daily stress, struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and all that life brings. I enjoy tailoring sessions towards the needs of each individual!
As a counselor specializing in children, adolescents, and young adults, I provide a compassionate and culturally responsive space for young clients to explore their emotions, navigate life’s challenges, and build resilience. With a deep understanding of the unique dynamics within South Asian families, I help bridge generational and cultural gaps that often impact mental health, communication, and identity development.
I work with individuals and groups to transform self-understanding into happier, more productive living. My practice is dedicated to helping clients navigate and heal from chronic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, complex trauma, and significant life transitions.
My unique offering combines the depth of psychotherapy to uncover underlying emotional and behavioral patterns with the strategic focus of coaching to accelerate goal achievement. This dual approach helps you identify the barriers that prevent success and develop practical, sustainable strategies to overcome them.
My background spans from working in psychiatric hospital settings to guiding high-functioning clients in private practice. I am committed to advancing professional education, having presented at leading universities like Columbia University, NYU, and Brooklyn College, and conducting specialized trauma and wellness workshops for professionals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in New York
Searching for postpartum therapists in New York starts with finding someone whose training fits your needs during pregnancy or after birth. Postpartum support can include care for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. New York has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so specialties and appointment options can vary by location. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy therapy, prenatal therapy, or maternal mental health therapy. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal care.
From New York City to Buffalo to Albany, the right fit often depends on more than specialty alone. New parents may need appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, work schedules, or changing daily routines. Virtual therapy can make it easier to access a therapist for moms, a therapist for new moms, or new parent therapy when traveling to an office takes extra planning. You can also narrow your search by availability, therapeutic approach, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their style, experience, and approach before you book.
The cost of postpartum therapy in New York can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking. From there, you can review therapist profiles, compare appointment times, and book directly when you’re ready.
