I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist with more than 12 years of experience in healthcare and mental health. As a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist, I provide trauma informed mental health services. My areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I've earned a certificate in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and a two-year certificate in Trauma Studies from the Manhattan Institute of Psychoanalysis. I currently hold the position of Supervisor of Social work services at a major New York City hospital. Prior to that position, I worked at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, where I served clients and families navigating serious mental illness. My foundational skills were honed at Mount Sinai Hospital, where I worked as a medical social worker in primary care. I believe understanding our past is key to creating a fulfilling present. That's why I use a psychodynamic approach – it's about exploring the 'why.' I'm curious about your story, and I'll support you in uncovering those early experiences that have shaped you. Together, we'll decide what you want to work on. And yes, a little gentle confrontation and humor can be powerful tools in that journey.
