Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York, NY
Supervised by Dr. Anica Camela Mulzac

About My Clients

I identify as first-generation, child of immigrants, mixed race, and Latina. As a therapist, I’m here to support clients with different and similar experiences, including first generation BIPOC/LGBTQ+ adults, children of immigrant parents, and migrants. I also work with clients to improve self esteem or address symptoms of ADHD. Through my holistic, collaborative, and nonhierarchical approach, we’ll address the challenges in your life together so that you can heal and gain new insights.

My Background and Approach

My clinical approach is varied. Depending on your needs, I may use modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices to address your challenges. Therapy with me is collaborative and I invite you to use your voice in our work together. Finding the right therapist can be challenging. I encourage you to begin your work with someone who understands you and is curious to learn more about what’s important to you. If working together seems like a potential fit, please reach out. I’m looking forward to connecting!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist who identifies as first-generation and Latina, I will always consider myself an advocate for clients navigating issues of identity and culture—including migrants, children of immigrant parents, and first generation BIPOC and LGBTQ+ adults. I also believe creativity and the arts can be incredibly healing, so I make a point of incorporating exercises like drawing and sketching into my practice.
