Raised in the South Bronx, by a Puerto Rican grandmother, I was exposed to diverse groups of people at a young age. When I began volunteering throughout the United States, my exposure widened. Spending my summers on tribe reservations in Washington, engaged in disaster relief in New Orleans and feeding the hungry in NYC; volunteering led me to the professional sector of the social service field. For over a decade, I have been a support to children, adolescents and adults; having worked with the general and forensics population to address trauma, abuse and emotional wellness. I have a background in leadership, psychotherapy, education, and facilitation of workshops for organizations and private practices.

I specialize in experiential therapy and integrate a combined approach of Somatic Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Brainspotting, EMDR, Expressive Arts and holistic therapeutic modalities. My work is largely shaped by lived experience + interest in collective liberation and healing. 

I believe my clients are the experts on their own experiences and seek to support them in forming their own narratives. I hold an authentic and safe therapeutic space to explore, connect and heal. Through the use of curiosity, humor, and compassion I foster a collaborative, affirming and non-judgmental environment that supports you.
