About My Clients

In the grip of anxiety or depression, you may feel trapped in loneliness and overwhelm, struggling to connect with others. Each day can seem daunting, filled with self-doubt & fear of judgment. Yet, there is potential for change. In therapy with me, you’ll discover accessible tools to navigate your emotions, build stronger connections. I will help you feel empowered and validated, ready to embrace your journey ahead. My experience and compassionate approach will guide you toward relief and hope.

My Background and Approach

I will provide you with tools & techniques that will help you throughout your life. I have many tools in my toolbox and together we will find the ones that work best for you. I have been helping young adults and adults overcome difficulties they experience (such as anxiety or depression), since 2016. I have witnessed the healing power of mindfulness and if you’d like me to, I can show you how it can benefit you. I care about who you are and how the difficulties you are facing developed. While I focus on your present concerns, I also value past discussions if you choose to share. I will help you understand how mental health manifests itself in your mind, body, emotions, and behavior (including consequences), and show you what we can do to improve your mental health and relationship with others. If I need to challenge you, I will approach it with care and only if it presents a chance for growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every single person can benefit from therapy. What is more, I wish the skills I teach in therapy were taught in schools as I have benefited so much from them myself. I believe mental health issues develop as a result of interactions between our biology and our environment. We are all unique individuals and react differently to the distinctive experiences we have had, and together, these shape who we are today. I was born in South America and raised in South America and Europe, where I lived for some time before moving to New York for my graduate training. I have lived in and adapted to different environments and learned from different cultures. My experiences have provided me with the ability to understand different perspectives. If you are ready to start healing, exploring, and changing, and want therapy in English, Spanish, Dutch, or Spanglish, feel free to contact me for a free consultation to see if we could be a good fit.
