MA, EdM
We all deserve a space where we can feel seen, heard, and supported, especially when life feels uncertain or emotionally challenging. Whether you are feeling stuck, navigating a transition, or trying to make sense of long-standing patterns, I see therapy as a space where we can pause, gain insight, and move through life —together. My goal is to create a relationship that feels warm and collaborative, where you feel truly supported, respected, and able to move at a pace that feels right for you.
Born and raised in Colombia and having called the United States home for the past 15 years, I bring a culturally responsive perspective to my work. Living between cultures has taught me the value of curiosity, empathy, and honoring the complexity of each person’s story. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 12 years in the corporate world, working in human resources. In roles focused on professional development, coaching, and employee relations, I had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, burnout, and transitions. These experiences continue to inform the way I show up in the therapy room.
I work with individuals and couples navigating diverse concerns, including anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD, relationship challenges, life transitions, and workplace stress. I bring a trauma-informed lens to my work and strive to offer a space that balances emotional safety with growth. My therapeutic approach is integrative and strengths-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Psychodynamic theory, ACT, and Positive Psychology. I also incorporate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with couples. I tailor each session to the needs of the person in front of me, always considering their personality, cultural background, values, and lived experience.
I have a BS in Psychology from Northeastern University, with a minor in Communication Studies and a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis. I also hold three graduate degrees from Columbia University, including a MA in Social-Organizational Psychology and a MA and Ed.M. in Mental Health Counseling.
Outside the therapy room, I love spending time with my husband and our two cats, visiting family abroad, trying new workout classes, and exploring New York City’s cultural and restaurant scene.
I offer bilingual therapy sessions in English and Spanish.
