Introduction

I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma and relationship patterns. I work with individuals and couples seeking deeper self-understanding, particularly those navigating trauma recovery, identity exploration, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others. My approach is psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed, grounded in curiosity and genuine human connection. I draw on multiple modalities—including EMDR, interpersonal therapy, and narrative approaches—to help you make sense of your experiences and find new ways forward. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and welcoming of diverse identities. I work with young adults, adults, and elders across the lifespan, and I'm currently accepting new clients. I offer both virtual and in-person sessions in Downtown Brooklyn, and I accept most major insurance plans. I'd love to connect with you—reach out to schedule a free consultation.
