Introduction

I'm drawn to therapy because rigorous research matters—I build my practice around evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that genuinely help with complex conditions like PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, and emotion dysregulation. But technique alone isn't enough; I prioritize creating a non-judgmental, respectful space where your inner wisdom is honored. If therapy has felt unsafe or unwelcoming before, I want that to change. As a member of the Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities, I actively welcome clients of all backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations—and I'm affirming of kink and consensual non-monogamy. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups across ages thirteen and up, offering both in-person and telehealth sessions. I'm certified in DBT (DBT-LBC certification), Prolonged Exposure therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention therapy. I'm also co-director of the DBT clinic at Rutgers Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, where I train doctoral students. I'm currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support your journey.
