Nice to meet you
I'm a bilingual New York native, born and raised in Chelsea. I work with women of all ages and backgrounds to process trauma and manage anxiety, using a psychodynamic and solution-focused approach. My goal is to walk alongside you as you heal, work through insecurities, and begin setting realistic, achievable goals. Together, we’ll build a step-by-step plan—a blueprint—to help you move toward your dreams and create lasting change.
