ABOUT ME
I am queer and Cuban-American.
During my undergraduate years, I studied political theory at Reed College. In 2021, I completed
my master’s degree in Social Work at Bryn Mawr College. Since then, I have offered individual
therapy in community mental health, university, and private practice settings.
When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, bicycling, making music, and watching the Phillies.
HOW I WORK
I believe that growth happens when we’re in close connection with trusted others. For that
reason, I will always prioritize building a strong, safe, and collaborative relationship with you.
Together we’ll uncover how your past experiences, contexts, and cultures have shaped you and
the things you bring into therapy. I’ll guide you in being with your thoughts, feelings and
sensations in a curious and self-compassionate way – an approach that I find allows for more
emotional openings and possibilities for change.
My therapeutic style is well suited to those who are experiencing depression, anxiety,
relationship issues, low self-esteem, questions of identity, and trauma. I use tools and
interventions from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family
Systems (IFS), mindfulness, Gestalt, relational therapy, and attachment theory.
