ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in New York

As someone who has undergone her own adversities, I can sincerely say that I know how elusive achieving change and growth can be, but I also know that change is possible. Navigating through the difficulties and stressors that life inevitably brings us can be challenging and difficult to do alone, which is why I am a firm believer that healing begins the moment we feel heard. I have worked in mental health clinics, inpatient psychiatric settings and group practice settings, but have found that I excel in private practice where I have the ability to offer one on one, individualized psychotherapy.

As a dynamic licensed psychotherapist in the States of New York and Connecticut. I bring two decades of compassionate, culturally responsive mental health support to my practice. My approach centers on understanding the unique experiences of individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in life’s challenges, relationship dynamics, and life transitions.

I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, affirming space that honors diverse identities. I focus on empowering clients through self-worth/esteem challenges, communication barriers, emotional regulation, and personal growth. From a holistic perspective, I help my clients explore strengths, build coping skills, and cultivate self-compassion.

My bilingual practice (English and Spanish) allows me to connect with a wide range of clients, providing culturally sensitive and evidenced-based guidance through personal transformations, relationship complexities, and emotional healing. I approach each therapeutic journey with genuine empathy, respect, and a collaborative spirit. I view life as an ongoing journey of learning and transformation, and I strive to help clients move beyond inner criticism and fear of loss toward living a rich, balanced, and meaningful life.

I work best with clients who are ready to engage in meaningful self-reflection and personal growth. My approach is a good fit for individuals who are curious about their inner world and open to exploring the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape their lives. Therapy is most effective when there is a willingness to be curious, invested, and open. I aim to provide a safe, compassionate space where that process can unfold.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, teens, young adults navigating life transitions, adults, couples, and families of all backgrounds. I am passionate about helping individuals and families move toward the lives they want to build, and I especially enjoy working with children - teaching skills and laying a strong foundation they can rely on when challenges arise.

I obtained my Master's Degree from Canisus University in 2013 and have been working with diverse populations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who obtained my Master of Social Work from Binghamton University. I have experience working together with diverse populations and various ages, ranging from children to adults.
