Do you feel like you don’t have a space that is meant for you in this world? “Normal" has never been where you fit in, and that’s fine with you. But you are more than a little tired of holding up the mask you wear and seeming so resilient when you’re really just exhausted. So you want to explore deeper within yourself and be true to who you are. You want a better relationship with yourself and those you are around, whether friends, family, or romantic partners. You can improve and grow your relationships. You can absolutely learn new skills and strengthen what’s already there. It might be really fucking difficult, but you’ve gotten this far, haven’t you? All of the resources to be the best you are already there. They’re just waiting to be unlocked. But you don’t have to do it all alone. I can help. Not as some high-and-mighty expert, but as your guide. Because I’ve been there too. I know how hard it is to balance all of your competing needs. I’m Latina, autistic, and an ADHDer. I get it.

Each crisis in our lives is an opportunity for healing and growth. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ concerns and I work with many heterosexual clients, as well.. My primary approach is relational psychodynamic, meaning I focus on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship to uncover and work on your deeper issues. An interactive and empathic therapist, I offer advice and support when needed, and I share my own experiences when I think they will be helpful. Though I have extensive, in-depth training, I rely greatly on intuition and humor in my work.

You might be feeling anxious, unfocused, or just not quite like yourself. Maybe your sleep is off, your mood feels low, or you’re going through a transition that’s left you feeling unsteady. Whatever brings you here, it probably hasn’t been easy to carry, and you don’t have to keep carrying it alone. I work with adults who are tired of pushing through and want something to change. My approach blends thoughtful, relational therapy with tools from brain health, behavioral medicine, and lifestyle psychology. We’ll look not just at what you’re feeling, but at how your mind and body are working together, things like your sleep, stress patterns, emotional habits, and the ways your nervous system is responding to what life’s asked of you. Sessions are collaborative, warm, and tailored to you. I draw from evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic work, while taking a whole-person view of healing—so you can feel clearer, steadier, and more connected to yourself again. I offer both in-person therapy in New York City and virtual appointments across New York State. If any of this resonates, I’d be glad to connect.

I specialize in providing traditional psychotherapy with an integrative, holistic approach. Our work begins with assessing not only emotional and psychological health, but also physical, spiritual and sexual wellness. I believe the mind and body are inexorably entwined, with each affecting the functioning of the other. I strive to provide a warm, supportive space in which we can create a plan to improve whole-person wellness and self-care.

I start with the belief that we all have an intrinsic ability to heal. Using awareness of body, mind and emotions, we can make our lives and relationships better, get unstuck from trauma, and learn to stay in the here and now. We can create greater regulation in our nervous systems. Instead of repeating negative patterns, we can build new pathways. My clients tell me that our work together helps them gain compassion for self and others, change long-standing patterns, connect with their body, emotions, and sense of inner goodness -- and simply feel more alive. I'm a Somatic Experiencing (SE) Practitioner and an SE Training Assistant. I'm also an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist. and a Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP). Other modalities I'm trained in that are useful for renegotiating trauma are the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Somatic Resilience and Regulation (SRR), and EMDR. I also use Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (effective for building parent-child attachment and parental leadership), and Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART). I'm a certified instructor of Yoga Dance and a Rape Crisis Counselor. I'm director of Mindful Therapy Brooklyn, a group practice. I created Starfish Body and Soul, a therapeutic movement program for trauma survivors.

The relationship between psychotherapist and client is of utmost importance in my practice- feeling understood, accepted and not judged. With my extensive experience in the field both as a practitioner and a teacher, having a foundation of knowledge of human psychological development and unconscious processes is requisite to being able to listen to and understand what people are expressing, both within their awareness and what may not be accessible to them without professional help. I work with each person based on what their individual needs are.

I believe that psychotherapy must respect the wisdom of mind and body, be tailored to your unique history and individual needs and be conducted in an atmosphere of absolute care and respect. I place great value on creating a relationship with you that makes it safe to explore any issue, and express any feeling, trusting that it will be met by understanding, not judgment. I believe that the notion of "radical acceptance" so well articulated by Tara Brach in her book of the same name, is key for emotional healing and a successful psychotherapy process; that, from a place of self knowledge and self acceptance, you can move beyond issues that are a legacy from the past, find peace of mind in the present, and look forward to the future with increasing optimism and hope.
