Hello there!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and support individuals and couples. I frequently work with clients whose lives have a before and after" in their story—a traumatic experience, a painful loss, betrayal that changed how they see themselves, others, or the world. They might be navigating a life transition that feels uncertain or difficult. Their Inner Critic fuels perfectionism, anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion. Perhaps their relationship is full of love but keeps getting caught in the same painful cycle without feeling understood and knowing how to repair. They a're untangling messages from family, culture, or faith that no longer fit who they are becoming.

¡Hola! I'm Leidy, a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist. I work with adults navigating major life transitions, grief and loss, fertility issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, family transitions and more. Many of the people I work with are in the middle of something big, whether that's a loss, a shift in their family, a fertility journey, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected, and they're looking for a space where they can finally exhale.
I'm originally from the Dominican Republic, and Spanish is my first language. As an immigrant myself, I understand what it's like to navigate multiple worlds, identities, and expectations. I'm also the proud parent of a son with autism, so I know firsthand what it's like to walk through major life transitions, advocate for your family, and find strength you didn't know you had. These experiences shape the way I show up for my clients every day.
My background is rooted in community work. I spent years in non-profit organizations supporting diverse communities, and that experience taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, honoring their culture, language, strengths, and identities. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that reflect the whole of who you are.
