About Me

I am a dedicated and caring Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional in the States of Georgia and New York, with over 14 years of clinical experience in the mental health field. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, grief and loss, mood disorders, personality disorders and family relationships. I am fully multilingual and offer therapy in English, Spanish and Portuguese. I am originally from the Dominican Republic where I first graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. From an early age I was called into the mental health field in a society where mental illness was stigmatized and a forbidden topic. This calling and life mission led me to spending decades studying Neurosciences, Psychology and Trauma Treatment. I hold a Master of Science degree in Neurosciences and a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as Certifications in Trauma Treatment and advanced trainings in EMDR Therapy, IFS therapy, Contextual Therapy, among others . Understanding the human experience with trauma, pain and loss and witnessing how through therapy healing is possible, has been the seal of a lifelong legacy. In my years of experience living and practicing in Latin American countries and lastly in the United States, I have worked in diverse clinical settings, with men and women ages 5-65 from different cultural backgrounds, who have experienced complex trauma. Through a holistic and integrative approach in our work in therapy, I have witnessed them gain emotional balance, self-integration, awareness and empowerment. As a psychotherapist I practice a holistic and integrative approach and work mainly from a psychodynamic, trauma informed and neuroscientific and systemic perspective, based on the evidence of how trauma impacts the body and brain, and the awareness that in order to create lasting change and heal trauma wounds we must create insight and integrate past and present while establishing a secure connection with ourselves and in relationship with our significant others. It is now my honor to be your therapist and together embark on the mission of healing. As your therapist it is my goal to foster hope and build on your strengths to support you in reaching your life goals, build stronger relationships and guide you through your journey of internal growth and healing.
