Get To Know Me
If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?
The book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb has deeply influenced the way I approach therapy. It reminded me of the power of honesty, empathy, and human connection in the healing process. Reading it reinforced my belief that therapy is a collaborative journey, where both client and therapist explore challenges with curiosity, compassion, and hope. It inspires me to create a safe, understanding space where clients feel heard and supported as they work toward growth and emotional balance.

Education
Fordham University, Master of Social Work, 2021 — I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University, where I received advanced training in clinical social work, evidence-based interventions, and culturally responsive care. During my studies, I focused on trauma and Serious Mental illness and participated in research and group projects that deepened my understanding of mental health, resilience, and community-based support. This education allows me to bring both academic knowledge and practical skills to help clients navigate life’s challenges and build emotional well-being
Work HistoryI have spent many years working with adults and older adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress from life transitions, caregiving, and relationship challenges. My experience includes supporting clients in correctional and community settings, where I learned to provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care and help people navigate complex life situations. I have also worked closely with Spanish-speaking clients, which strengthened my ability to provide culturally responsive support. Over the years, I have developed expertise in trauma, grief and bereavement, family dynamics, gambling addiction, and helping clients build practical coping skills to improve their emotional well-being.
