Counseling Psychology
I am a bilingual mental health counselor with a master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a bachelor’s degree in forensic psychology. I am currently pursuing a doctorate in Counseling Psychology.
I have experience providing individual counseling to adults and children, supporting clients through a wide range of mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), emotional dysregulation, grief, self-esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where healing and personal growth can take place through evidence based therapeutic interventions.
I have provided therapy to clients, adults and children of all ages, diagnosed with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, nonverbal communication delays, ADHD, academic underachievement, and mood disorders.
I take a compassionate, developmentally informed approach when working with younger clients and their families, helping them navigate emotional, behavioral, and communication challenges while building resilience and emotional awareness.
In my work with adult clients, I’ve supported individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, and intimacy related concerns. I’ve worked with people experiencing the impact of childhood trauma, relational abuse, burnout, and chronic worry, helping them regain stability and reconnect with their sense of self. I believe in empowering clients by offering tools for emotional regulation, boundary setting, and improved self understanding.
I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma informed care, mindfulness based interventions, solution focused therapy, play therapy, and person centered therapy. Each treatment plan is tailored to the client’s specific goals, cultural context, and readiness for change. I value a collaborative relationship where clients feel seen, respected, and supported.
Outside of my clinical work, I remain actively involved in community outreach, volunteering with organizations such as La Fondita de Jesús to support individuals experiencing homelessness, and participating in hurricane relief and food insecurity initiatives across Puerto Rico. These efforts reflect my belief that mental health care should be inclusive, accessible, and grounded in empathy.
Whether you are looking for a therapist to support your child, navigate a personal crisis, or explore your emotional landscape more deeply, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
