- LMHC
As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. With expertise in addressing self-esteem, family conflicts, and young adult transitions, I offer culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique journey.
My bilingual background in English and Spanish allows me to connect deeply with diverse communities. I specialize in supporting individuals working through social anxiety, communication barriers, isolation, and life purpose exploration. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on empowering clients to develop stronger self-understanding and resilience.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're dealing with relationship challenges, seeking greater self-acceptance, or navigating significant life transitions, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
