Over the course of my practice, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse individuals and experiences. My approach involves guiding teens and adults (18+) through the challenges of adulthood, supporting individuals on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. My work encompasses a wide range of emotional challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma and ADHD. I specialize in relationship/intimacy challenges, identity exploration, and chronic stress and burnout, as well as the unique struggles of students and young adults. I also specialize in working with women's wellness and supporting hopeful, expectant, and postpartum parents through their unique journeys.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex positive. I take an intersectional, political, and anti-oppressive lens to therapy, recognizing the interconnected nature of abuse and mistreatment with legacies of oppression. Individual and family patterns are contextualized within broader systems, highlighting patients' capacities for generosity, compassion, curiosity, courage, accountability, and self-leadership.

Throughout my training, I served as a trauma therapist and advocate for survivors of domestic violence, sex trafficking, and related forms of gender violence. I provided crisis intervention and trauma-informed counseling to adult survivors while centering a commitment to safety, healing, and self-determination. Additionally, I trained within a community clinic providing outpatient mental health services and psychotherapy to adults, children, couples, and families. From my work in these settings, I have experience navigating a broad spectrum of clinical disorders and life challenges, such as: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, intergenerational trauma, women’s empowerment, body image issues, grief and loss, life purpose and transitions, racial and immigrant identity issues, and sexual orientation and gender-identity development.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the non-profit sector as an immigrant rights advocate. My work as a therapist is rooted in social justice frameworks and is largely informed by my professional and personal advocacy. This means that my approach to therapy purposefully rests at the intersections of liberation psychology and healing justice frameworks, which emphasize healing and social change as interdependent processes. 

I completed my undergraduate education at Binghamton University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. I then completed a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Hunter College, with a field concentration in Global Social Work and Practice with Immigrants and Refugees. In order to best support clients in their healing journeys, I stay well-informed on cutting-edge research and attend regular trainings on holistic and radical approaches to clinical practice.
