I believe that healing happens in a space of validation, trust, and cultural understanding. Specializing in BPD, addiction, ADHD, relationships, and anxiety, I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that integrates CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and multicultural perspectives to help clients navigate life’s challenges. My experience spans private practice, addiction treatment facilities, and trauma-specialized centers, where I’ve worked with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Hispanic, and neurodivergent individuals. The first few sessions focus on understanding your story and building our therapeutic relationship, but I also provide tools right away to help with any immediate concerns. I'm also able to offer therapy services in Spanish. 

Originally from Puerto Rico, I transitioned from journalism to therapy after Hurricane Maria, seeing firsthand the urgent need for mental health support. Having lived and worked in West Virginia and Maryland, I understand the intergenerational effects of trauma and addiction, particularly in communities with economic challenges. I believe in balancing acceptance with challenge, helping clients rewrite their personal narratives while respecting their individual pace. Therapy changed my life, and I’ve seen my clients overcome incredible obstacles—I know that change is possible. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, crochet, and caring for my plants and cats.
