A seasoned Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, I obtained my Master's in Clinical Social Work from the prestigious Fordham University's Advanced Standing Program, specializing in therapy for couples, individuals, and young people. I further honed my expertise with a postgraduate degree from the Albert Ellis Institute.

Believing in the power of genuine human connections, I'm dedicated to creating a warm and supportive environment that encourages open dialogue and full authenticity. I consider you to be the expert in your own life, and I'm here to understand your narrative, celebrate your successes, and offer steadfast support throughout the journey. I prefer taking a holistic approach to our work, exploring your connections with yourself, others, and the world.

Connections with others are a vital lifeline in times of stress. I work with adults who may be struggling with a variety of issues, life transitions, or would like support on their mental health journeys. I want to be a positive support system while challenging you to become your most empowered self. We will work together to foster a balanced life. As a Mental Health Counselor-LP, working under the supervision of Silvia B. Arias, I look forward to counseling those who want to learn emotional regulation and maintain healthy relationships, explore gender identity, or may be living with trauma.
