Therapists in New York

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Latinx/e clinical psychologist, licensed in NY and Florida. I trained in NYC under psychodynamic, trauma informed  and behavioral modalities. I approach the therapy space with compassion and authenticity to provide a safe space for clients to be vulnerable and sit with the discomfort of navigating painful experiences and emotional suffering.  

All women deserve to have a safe, sensitive, and supportive space to unpack stressors, life transitions, and trauma and learn healthy coping mechanisms and strategies. I tailor treatment to each individual because all clients are unique. I employ an eclectic approach to treatment, incorporating a range of clinical approaches and modalities. Learning directly from you, hearing your story, is the best way to confront the issues that you recognize are impacting your life. Celebrating each and every client’s wins as they work to become their best self and accomplish their goals is my calling. By sharing the tools in my toolbox with clients, I am helping them to achieve success on their own terms. It can be difficult to ask for help when we need it, so it’s a show of great courage that you’re ready to take that step! I’m here to join you on your journey to healing.

I grew up living on the island of Antigua and in New York City. Having such an experience has allowed me to be culturally sensitive, and more aware and curious about differences and commonalities in culture, family dynamics, and parenting styles. My approach is eclectic and client centered. I believe people already have the answers they seek, and my responsibility is to assist in the discovery of these answers. My approach also involves mindfulness and movement to guide clients towards feeling safe in the body. My practice disrupts transgenerational patterns that perpetuate silence and secrecy around sexual abuse and other adverse childhood experiences.

My expertise is working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem/body image concerns, substance abuse, trauma, work stress and anger management. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to facilitate your journey to healing. Taking the fist step can be uncomfortable, but you do not need to do it alone. I utilize an array of therapeutic interventions that are person-centered and solution-focused. I believe that everyone has the ability to change and grow at any point in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way.

I am a licensed social worker with 25+ years of experience listening and helping people reach their goals. 

I am a licensed psychotherapist based in New York specializing in anxiety, depression, and body image concerns among adolescents, young adults, and adults.

I obtained a Masters in Mental Health Counseling at Alfred University, a Masters in School Counseling from St. Johns University, and a Bachelors degree from Syracuse University. I have over 15 years of experience working in a variety of clinical settings, including schools, day treatment programs, and out patients settings in Manhattan and Long Island.

As a board certified creative arts therapist & mental health counselor, I am committed to creating a safe, trusting and collaborative environment through a person-centered approach. Based on your goals in therapy, we will work together to utilize psychotherapy, art therapy, or a combination of the two to facilitate growth while restoring emotional and mental health. As each individual's experiences and needs are unique, I take a holistic approach to our work together that draws on trauma informed treatment and attachment theory. My therapeutic experiences with young children through older adults range from anxiety disorders, substance use, family members and children of loved ones who use substances, through major mental illness. ​ Art therapy embraces the creative process and materials as a therapeutic and healing experience, instead of focusing on the product. The utilization of art making as intervention has been especially impactful as a gateway for communication and connection between body and mind and allows us to tap into our subconscious to externalize things we may have difficulty verbalizing. You do not need to have artistic experience but a desire to explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior, develop social skills, reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem to practice art therapy.
