Hi! I am a therapist for Aspire To Wellness Behavioral Health. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). My educational background includes an MA in Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work in NY and a BA in Psychology from Hunter College in NY. In my free time, I enjoy discovering new coffee shops, listening to music, and reading I am a first-generation Bilingual Latina Therapist. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I help individuals work through anxiety, depression, life changes, ADHD, trauma, behavior challenges, anger, academic challenges, adjusting to new environments, and other life stressors. I utilize Play therapy, Narrative Therapy, Strengths Based Therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Client centered approach, and positive psychology. I have worked with children, youth, adults, and families. I have experience working in school settings, private practice, and church-based counseling. Growing up, I’ve seen the mental health needs within my own community, especially with the idea of holding things in due to fear of stigma and judgment. I want to be able to provide a safe space that allows you to explore your needs, challenges, and strengths. Being in this field, I dedicate myself to helping individuals heal and grow to be a better and stronger version of themselves. With love and compassion, we can find the path to healing and wellness that you seek. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to heal and grow. Many unexpected events and transitions can occur throughout life, but it is possible to navigate through them even if it seems impossible. I will be honored to join you in this journey. Therapy is a vulnerable experience but you are not alone. You made a brave first step in finding a therapist. It takes a lot of courage and I’m proud of you. My goal is to create a partnership with you and build a connection. I look forward to working with you on your journey. We are in this together, navigating the course we call life.
