About My Clients
I help clients navigate issues related to mood and anxiety disorders, complex trauma and PTSD, and other major life stressors. I use an anti-oppressive lens and pay close attention to the way cultural and institutional factors impact your health. I believe that therapy is one part of a process toward connection and a sense of belonging with others.
My Background and Approach
When you’re struggling, it can be difficult to feel comfortable around others, show compassion for yourself, or let your guard down. Healing can feel impossible and it can be hard to see your own gifts. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with you to recover those gifts. I use a relational psychodynamic lens to help explore the connection between how you currently move through the world and how you learned how to make sense of the world. I also use somatic therapies like EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to help bring attention to the way the body stores emotions and experiences and release patterns that no longer serve you. I am first-generation Afro-Dominican, queer and nonbinary. I have worked with clients across the lifespan in both English and Spanish. My style as a therapist is strengths-based and trauma-informed. I welcome all clients, including BIPOC, queer, trans and gender-expansive adults, and look forward to collaborating with you in this part of your journey.
