My passion has always been working with adolescents and young adults who are dealing with life's challenges in the form of mood struggles, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance abuse. If you haven't really been feeling like "you" lately and have struggled with any of these things, we can work together to begin to process these emotions and build the skills to manage them in a more comfortable way. I believe that you have capabilities and strengths within you that we can draw out and build on in order to help you move forward.

Are you struggling with some sort of transition in your life? Maybe starting college has been difficult, or maybe you're nearing graduation and anxious about the future. Perhaps you are having difficulty in a relationship, or going through a breakup. Maybe friendships are changing... Maybe school is just a lot more stressful than you expected! Or, perhaps you have been struggling with symptoms of anxiety or depression for some time, and you are finally ready to seek help. I help students who are struggling with all of these issues, and more.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with many years of experience in individual, couples, group and family therapy. I believe in a strengths based treatment approach. I collaborate with clients to strengthen their ability to cope with stressors in a healthy and positive way.

Hello! Being a college student can be difficult, I’ve been there, and I can help you throughout this process and even beyond. Therapy, like college, is a journey that begins with a single step. Therapy does not have to focus on one area, the joy of this is that we can work on whatever it is that you want. I will push you when needed, laugh with you, and most importantly, meet you where you are in your process. Take the first step for therapy today by reaching out to set up a free consultation.
I work in a warm, transparent, and collaborative way. Humor — and sometimes swearing — has a place in session, because I believe both can build distress tolerance. Expect to dive into action: my job is to help you do the hard thing. Together, we’ll confront unhelpful patterns and interrupt the cycle of avoidance through experiential exposure. You’ll practice new ways of facing difficult situations, build specific skills for doing hard things, and move toward what actually matters to you — step by step, toward a life aligned with your values. When you work with me, expect to dive into action. My goal is to help you do the hard thing. Background & Training I received my Ph.D. from Columbia University and have 18+ years of experience providing culturally informed therapy to adults, with specialized training in multicultural psychology. I use evidence-based Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) within an interpersonal framework, integrating attachment theory, IFS and polyvagal-informed trauma approaches. I believe the therapeutic relationship, paired with research-backed methods, can be genuinely transformative. No one gives us a guide on how to be human or how to build a fulfilling life. In therapy, I provide a compassionate space where you can learn how to process and regulate emotions, navigate relationships and boundaries, uncover avoidance patterns, and connect with your core values. Specialties Anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, autism, adult ADHD, identity concerns and exploration, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My work is attachment- and trauma-informed, drawing on mindfulness and emotion-processing skills, experiential exposure, boundary work, and values-based practice to reduce experiential avoidance and build lasting change.
As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), I work with individuals and families navigating life across a variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. I work particularly well with kids and teens (ages 5–17), college students, and adults, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, supporting them through anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the kind of stressful situations that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of where you belong. My personal experience in therapy has been profoundly transformative, and it’s that firsthand understanding of what genuine, effective care feels like that drives my commitment to providing it. If you're carrying the weight of difficult emotions, searching for your sense of purpose, or trying to build more meaningful relationships and you're not sure where to start, that's okay. We'll figure it out together. I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to be honest, messy, and to move at your own pace, even when that feels like navigating a storm you can't see through. I don't come into sessions with a script; I come with genuine curiosity about you specifically, and a warm but grounded approach built around you, not a formula. Our work together is your umbrella in the storm, the light on the horizon, and, eventually, the clearing. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), adapting to what you need session to session. Together we'll build real insight, practical tools, and ways forward that feel sustainable and true to who you are. Before becoming a therapist, I spent four years working in community and supportive housing, where I served individuals navigating untreated and under-treated mental illness while trying to maintain stable lives. What struck me wasn't just how much they were struggling; it was how many barriers stood between them and the real support they needed. I became a therapist because I believe mental health care isn't a luxury, it's infrastructure. And everyone deserves access to it. Outside of the office, you'll find me on a yoga mat, at a Pilates class, or at a restaurant trying something I've never eaten before. I love spending time with my husband, and when we're not home, there's a good chance we're somewhere on the opposite side of the world. International travel isn't just a hobby for me, it's a reminder that there are as many ways to live a meaningful life as there are people living them, and that perspective finds its way into my work every single day.

Are you surviving — or actually thriving? I became a therapist so I could help people thrive instead of just surviving. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience helping adults heal from trauma, manage ADHD, break painful relational patterns, and reconnect with who they truly are. I specialize in working with the BIPOC community, college students, first-generation professionals, women navigating major life transitions, high-achieving adults who feel stuck despite their success, and adults with ADHD who are tired of being misunderstood. I am also one of the few LCSWs certified in financial social work — bringing a unique understanding of how money stress, financial trauma, and ADHD intersect with mental health. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw from trauma-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic therapy — always meeting you where you are. Reaching out is the first act of self-care. I offer telehealth exclusively, serving adults in California, New York, New Jersey, and Florida. ¡Se habla español!
