I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Union Square, dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, young professionals, and adults in their healing journey. Using a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approach from a BIPOC perspective, I help clients relieve emotional stress, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges. My practice is rooted in authenticity, warmth, curiosity, and empathy, integrating frameworks like Intersectionality, CBT, Structural Family Therapy, and Relational Therapy. As a storyteller at heart, I believe everyone’s story deserves to be heard, and I am here to listen, support, and guide you toward growth and healing.

Soy un trabajador social clínico licenciado en Union Square, comprometido con apoyar a niños, adolescentes, jóvenes profesionales y adultos en su proceso de sanación, alivio del estrés emocional y fortalecimiento de la resiliencia. Desde una perspectiva BIPOC y un enfoque anti-opresivo informado sobre el trauma, integro la interseccionalidad, la terapia cognitivo-conductual, la terapia familiar estructural y la terapia relacional. Como narrador de corazón, creo que todas las historias merecen ser contadas y escuchadas, y estoy aquí para acompañarte, escucharte y guiarte en tu camino hacia la sanación.
