My Expertise is Communication and Mental Health As a clinician, my passion lies in helping individuals become more effective communicators. Growing up in a Puerto Rican household where raised voices were commonplace and active listening was scarce, I felt compelled to seek better ways of connecting with others. Through my work, I’ve discovered that teaching people to understand their communication patterns can significantly improve family dynamics and intimate relationships. I firmly believe in psychoeducation as a powerful tool for demystifying mental health diagnoses and combating associated stigma. Since 2016, I’ve been providing individual, family, and group services, addressing conditions such as Bipolar disorder, Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, Borderline Personality disorder, and adjustment disorders. My clients often face co-occurring challenges related to mental health and substance abuse. Over the years, I’ve worked across diverse environments, including PROS programs, residential facilities, and outpatient settings. I’ve assisted individuals in creating personalized treatment plans, focusing on their unique goals, and supporting them in securing and maintaining employment. My educational journey includes a Bachelor’s degree from Lehman College in the Bronx and a Master’s degree from the College of New Rochelle. Currently, I practice in an outpatient clinic in the Bronx, dedicated to promoting mental well-being and fostering effective communication.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and a Certified School Psychologist. My many years of education and experience have afforded me a plethora of perspectives and a deep understanding of emotional challenges that we all face throughout the course of our lives. I work with clients who are interested in looking at opportunities for change in their lives, change that will hopefully provide hope and new meaning. Well versed in a myriad of theoretical approaches that may promote change, I find it most important to meet the client where he/she is in the present state of time and space thereby customizing the therapy work within the scope of the particular person’s needs, feelings, expectations and goals. I bring a caring and compassionate connection to the therapy room. My first and foremost goal is to present an atmosphere of safety and comfort to the client in an effort to allow for open interaction. I listen to the client with a nonjudgmental and curious stance so that I can learn what issues are brought up in a free form openness as I learn about the challenges and struggles discussed in the present moment. In this context of comfort and openness, there forms a therapy-client relationship that essentially promotes a feeling trust and reliance between the client and myself as we move forward with words of meaningful client life descriptions yet to be identified, interpreted and worked through. I employ models that include several approaches in my work including psychodynamic, attachment styles, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, narrative and client - centered. Combinations of these models are integrated in a way that would be the best match for an individual client.
