- LCSW
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of professional experience supporting individuals on their journeys toward healing and growth. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Hunter College in 2013. As a Hispanic and Black woman, I bring a perspective that is both personal and deeply rooted in cultural awareness. Therapy is a partnership. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their goals and walk alongside them as they pursue meaningful change. I am committed to fostering a nonjudgmental, affirming space where individuals can thrive and feel empowered in their growth.
