I am a Bilingual (English and Spanish speaking) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience. I grew up in Bronx, New York and was raised, along with my siblings and a host of extended relatives, by my Honduran parents. Growing up in an immigrant and blended family, including becoming a teen mother and experiencing the effects of my parents’ divorce, has influenced my decision to become a therapist to help people who are experiencing distress, life transitions, and systemic challenges. I have dedicated my life to destigmatizing mental health and creating a safe space for people to be seen, understood, and feel less alone. I provide individual, couple, and family therapy for people of all walks of life. Most of my clients present to therapy seeking support to address issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship stressors, grief, pregnancy loss, and adjustment to life transitions. Therapy is an effective way to work through unexpected life challenges that can catch us by surprise, roadblocks that can keep us stuck or get in our own way, learn about our past, understand our patterns, our development, and learn new healthy coping skills to help us manage our emotions and live more fulfilling and rewarding lives. I believe change happens when life’s circumstances place a demand on us to shift (i.e., the death of a loved one, loss of employment, divorce, etc.) from one chapter to a new chapter in our lives. Change happens when we accept that change is inevitable, and it is part of the cycle of life. Change occurs when we are open to learning something new that will enhance our quality of life mentally and emotionally, and enable us to become a better version of ourselves.
