Greetings from the heart of New Jersey, where I've made my home as a licensed psychotherapist. As an Afro-Latina immigrant, my passion is not just a profession. It's a calling, a heartfelt devotion to aiding those who grapple with the dark clouds of anxiety and depression stemming from unresolved childhood trauma, deep-rooted generational trauma, and complex attachment issues. My journey is painted with the vivid colors of Colombia, traces of Venezuela, and the broad strokes of the United States, lending me a unique and invaluable perspective on the challenges of being an immigrant and part of a diverse community.
I've navigated the walls of language barriers and the maze of cultural differences myself, thus understanding the struggle first-hand. These experiences have shaped me and filled me with gratitude and the drive to use this wisdom to guide others who tread similar paths.
My professional strength blooms in guiding souls on their healing journey from the wounds of childhood and generational trauma, assisting them in forging secure attachments. The imprints of such experiences can ripple into various aspects of our lives, manifesting as incessant overthinking, challenges in setting boundaries, or the heavy anchor of past mistakes. Yet, I assure you with heartfelt confidence that we can conquer these hurdles together. Recognizing the unique tapestry of everyone's needs, I tailor my therapeutic approach, employing an alchemy of Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Attachment theory, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based Therapy. The aim is to forge a profoundly personalized roadmap for each client.
Imagine life with an unwavering sense of self-worth, unconditional self-acceptance, and the harmonious balance that comes with it. This journey starts with our very first session, and I am here, ready to guide you through each step.
The road to healing and self-worth may seem daunting, and the decision to embark on it might be challenging. Yet, I firmly believe that psychotherapy is a life-altering investment in oneself. With this conviction, I am committed to helping you reach this transformative destination. Be it in English, Spanish, or the lyrical blend of Spanglish, I am here to be your steadfast companion in this transformation journey. Take that first bold step. Invest in yourself. Reach out today and schedule a free 30-minute consultation. Your journey begins now.

Warm greetings from New Jersey, where I channel my expertise as a licensed psychotherapist to reach out to individuals of diverse backgrounds and ages. As an African American woman, I feel a personal calling to touch the lives of those who may see a part of themselves in me, to ignite a spark of understanding of mental health treatment and its profoundly transformative potential.
I hold fast to the conviction that every person deserves the chance to carve out their path to healing and to have an active voice in their therapeutic journey.
My soul resonates with a deep desire to serve as a guiding light for those navigating the tumultuous seas of anxiety, depression, and trauma - the haunting remnants of unresolved childhood traumas, attachment issues, and generational wounds. My time in the child welfare system has given me a unique window into the formidable challenges individuals and families endure. I see the ripple effect of generational patterns and passionately believe in offering breathing room for people to face their battles head-on.
Life is a complex odyssey; we may sometimes feel lost amidst the challenges. But remember, you need not face these alone. I am here to stand alongside you, to offer a beacon of hope as you brace against these challenges. My mission is to craft a sanctuary of trust, an oasis where you can unfold your story without fear and step onto the threshold of a new chapter of your life. It could be your turning point, the launchpad for a journey that allows you to discover and celebrate the best in you. Life is a canvas of infinite possibilities, waiting for you to paint your masterpiece.
So, let's embark on this shared journey of healing and self-discovery, a journey toward unveiling the best version of yourself. Your grand adventure begins here, and together, we can make it a tale to remember. Let's turn the page to this exciting new chapter together.
